'Do not eat': Tony's Chocolonely Easter eggs recalled after pieces of metal found

Easter eggs have been pulled from the shelves of major supermarkets such as Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury’s over fears pieces of metal are inside.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued urgent recall notices on two Tony’s Chocolonely Large Hollow Easter eggs due to the possible presence of pieces of metal.

It comes days after Tony’s was forced to pull its Dark Almond Sea Salt and Everything chocolate bars from the shelves after it was found they may contain small stones.

The affected products are Tony’s Chocolonely Hollow Milk Caramel Sea Salt and Hollow Milk Chocolate eggs with best before dates of June 2025.
