The affected chocolate was manufactured at the companyโ€™s Dutch factory and has a best before date of between June 19, 2016 and January 8, 2017.

It is not clear if the recall applies to Australia but it does not extend to the US.

โ€œAs far as we know there are 55 countries involved,โ€ Eline Bijveld, Mars corporate affairs co-ordinator for the Netherlands told AFP, refusing to divulge the whole list.

โ€œWe are currently investigating exactly whatโ€™s happened, but we cannot be sure that this red piece of plastic isnโ€™t in any other of our products from the same production line.โ€
