Frankfurt: Mars has recalled Mars and Snickers bars and other products in 55 countries after plastic was found in bars. Roel Govers, spokesman for Mars in the Netherlands, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that the recall affects 55 countries but didn't immediately provide further details.

The company had earlier issued a statement to Reuters saying that the recall was to prevent customers who bought the products from consuming them. The Dutch food safety authority posted what it said was a Mars press release on its website. The press release recalled all Mars and Snickers products, Milky Way Minis and Miniatures, as well as certain kinds of Celebrations with best before dates between June 19, 2016, and January 8, 2017.

Mars didn’t detail the volume of products affected or what financial impact the recall would have. In December, Mars issued a recall of its Dove Chocolate Assortment Snowflakes that were sold at a one major retailer in the US over the Christmas period.
