The GCC markets are unaffected by the recall by chocolate maker Mars of certain batches of Galaxy, Maltesers Teasers and bags of Minstrels in the UK and Ireland, the company has said.


“This recall relates to products manufactured in the UK and sold in the UK and Ireland only. This incident does not impact products imported into the GCC by Mars,” the statement added.


Mars UK and Ireland had voluntarily recalled a small amount of Galaxy Smooth Milk Chocolate bars, Galaxy Minstrel and Galaxy Counters and Teasers bars.


“Mars UK and Ireland are working closely with the relevant food safety authorities and customers to ensure that the affected products are no longer available for purchase,” the company said.


As per the reports, Galaxy Milk 200g bars, Minstrel 118g pouches and Maltesers Teasers 35g bars with best-before dates of May 6, 2018 and May 13, 2018 are affected.


Other products included in the recall include Galaxy Milk 4x42g multipacks and Galaxy Counters 78g and 112g pouches with the May 6, 2018 and May 13, 2018 best-before dates.
