Lake Champlain Chocolates is recalling milk chocolate products due to possible foreign objects, the company announced on Friday. Vermont’s famous business urged customers to discard all potentially affected products currently on the market from July 2020 to January 2021.
The affected products were distributed to retailers in all 50 states and at the company’s three retail stores in Vermont.
The voluntary recall was issued after a consumer reported finding brittle pieces of plastic in a finished product, the company said. To date, no consumer has reported adverse health effects due to this contamination.
After an initial investigation and with great caution, the company said it has decided to remove all potentially affected products from a certain range of validity for potential foreign objects.
There are a number of products affected, including various flavors from the company’s five-star bar, and they could have been included in assortments for gift baskets, including Christmas selections, according to the company’s website.

The company says it is committed to quality products and consumer safety and is taking aggressive steps to avoid the need for future recalls of its products.
The US Food and Drug Administration was notified of the recall.
