Oh No ! Not my Snickers bar !

There is a recall on Mars, Milky Way and Snickers bars made in the Netherlands with best before date of 6/19/16 thru 1/8/17. Check your candy bars. I think they said plastic was found in the candy but some of the bars made in the USA are not affected. I LOVE my Snickers bar.

I don't eat candy bars (only because of the calories).  

 

I just don't understand why they would make candy bars (or anything for that matter) in the Netherlands or any other country and ship it to the U. S. 

 

Makes no sense.

I don't think Mars makes the candy there and ships it back here.  There is nothing on the FDA website anyways (not yet).

From what I read ,the recall does not extend to the US!

 

(I don't remember the exact websites but you can research it and see the same info) It was mostly Europe and 2 other countries I believe-Not the US!

I am not really into candy bars, but just wanted to say I love your quote.

I do hope the reports are right that it doesn't extend to the US.  

 

I think it was quite responsible of them to include such wide recall dates but phew what a waste.
