OCU demand more information on the withdrawal of chocolates MARS

OCU requires more information and transparency by both the manufacturer and the Administration. At the moment consumers only they know what has appeared in the media, now on the website of the company in Spain there is not information about displayed.

OCU considered absolutely necessary to explain the potential risks of these chocolates for consumers and help users identify those chocolates that could potentially be affected by the withdrawal.

In other countries like Belgium they have provided more data. For example expiration dates identified by those potentially dangerous products. OCU asks to have the same data for the Spanish market.

The Organization believes that now, in the absence of further details, the measure can generate alarm and seems disproportionate. For this reason, OCU asks the company and health authorities more details to understand the seriousness of the matter and that consumers can act accordingly; therefore requests data as factories concerned situation, size of the plastic appeared, number of lots affected in the Spanish market and clear instructions for customers to identify these products and how to proceed for the return of products
