Mars found that the chocolate in question was produced at a factory in Veghel, the Netherlands. The plastic came from the protective cover used during the production of the factory.

On February 22, Mars announced the recall of related products in France, as well as Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Italy and Spain. Different countries are involved in the recall of different types of chocolate products.

B. Regardless of whether China is recalled, you must be concerned

Regardless of whether or not China is within the scope of the recall, there are already a lot of consumers who are currently scouring the world and it is very important to understand which products have hidden dangers in which areas.

Is China affected?

According to a press release issued by the Marshalles to the Yangcheng Evening News, Mars clearly stated that the product in question was "a certain batch of chocolate products produced by a Dutch factory", "does not involve Mars's products in other countries and factories, Mars China produced and The relevant chocolate products sold can be used by consumers with confidence.” In other words, Mars products that are circulated on the Chinese market are not in the scope of recall because they are not “special batches of chocolate products produced by Dutch factories”. New Zealand's Manuka honey has been popular in China. As New Zealand’s Ministry of Industry stated that the company’s products are sold in New Zealand’s local and overseas markets. The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of China confirmed a few days ago that three batches of related products have been exported to China, some of which are gifts or promotions. The importers have been ordered to recall and the remaining products have been sealed. In addition, related departments in Hong Kong, China also found that products were sold in Hong Kong.

Haitao how to identify?

However, if consumers travel overseas or through sea scouring, how can they carefully select related products to avoid risks? According to Mars, the date and place of production are the most direct methods of identification: "The date of manufacture is marked from December 5, 2015 to January 18, 2016, MARS@, CELEBRATIONS@ SNICKERS@ and MILKY WAY@ chocolate products.” It belongs to the recall of the specific batch of products produced by the Dutch factory, consumers do not buy.


And Manuka honey, because New Zealand has no relevant national standards, the most direct method can only be to recognize the recalled brand name “ Evergreen Life ”.
