A popular chocolate brand has pulled some of its best-loved bars from shelves after unexpected objects were found inside.

Tony’s Chocolonely Inc., a New York-based company, has announced a voluntary recall of specific chocolate bars sold throughout the United States.

The recall, made public on April 1, 2025, and published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on April 2, 2025, concerns two products: the Tony’s Chocolonely Dark Chocolate Almond Sea Salt Bar and the Tony’s Chocolonely Everything Bar. Both bars weigh 180 grams, or 6.35 ounces.

The reason for the recall is the possible presence of small stones in the chocolate, which were not filtered out during a third-party almond harvesting and processing procedure.

The company received 12 reports from consumers who found small stones in the affected products. All of the complaints were made outside the United States and Canada. No injuries have been reported.

The recalled bars were distributed nationwide. They were available for purchase in retail stores across the U.S. as well as online at the company’s website, www.tonyschocolonely.com. Distribution of the affected products took place between February 7, 2025, and March 24, 2025.

The affected Tony’s Chocolonely Everything Bar includes four specific lot codes: 4327, 4330, 4331, and M4331. Lot 4327 has a best-before date of November 22, 2025.

Lot 4330 has a best-before date of November 25, 2025. Lot 4331 and M4331 both have best-before dates of November 26, 2025. The Universal Product Code (UPC) for lots 4327, 4330, and 4331 is 850011828564, while the UPC for lot M4331 is 850032676441.

The affected Tony’s Chocolonely Dark Chocolate Almond Sea Salt Bar includes three lot codes: 163094, 162634, and M162634.

Lot 163094 has a best-before date of April 2, 2026. Lots 162634 and M162634 both have best-before dates of February 28, 2026. The UPC for lots 163094 and 162634 is 858010005641, while the UPC for lot M162634 is 850011828908.

Consumers who have purchased any of the affected products and have not yet consumed them are advised not to eat the chocolate. Instead, they should return the product to the place of purchase for a refund or replacement, or dispose of the product safely.

Tony’s Chocolonely has provided detailed instructions for identifying the correct lot codes and how to submit a refund or replacement request on their website.
