Lake Champlain Chocolates is recalling milk chocolate products due to possible foreign objects, the company announced Friday. The famous Vermont company urged customers to discard any 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 the company’s three stores in Vermont.
The voluntary recall was issued after a consumer reported finding brittle plastic pieces in a finished product, the company said. To date, no consumers have reported negative health effects from this contamination.
After an initial investigation and out of an abundance of caution, the company said it had decided to recall all potentially affected products from a set expiration date for potential foreign objects.
There are a number of affected products, including multiple flavors of the company’s five-star bar, and these could have been included in gift basket ranges, 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 measures to avoid the need for future recalls of its products.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has been notified of the recall.
