The product involved, imported by Belgium’s Chocolate Source of Wellesley, Mass., is Café-Tasse’s 1.58 oz. (45 gr.) bar with bar code of 54000219. It does not affect any other Café-Tasse chocolate bars or sizes. Under the best before date, there is also a lot code with reference L11303249. The lot code affects only a total of 11 cases of 30 bars of this product that were sold by 7 retailers and 1 distributor, all of who have been contacted. The recall was initiated by Café-Tasse in Belgium after it was discovered that product containing milk traces was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of milk traces. All remaining inventory of this item has been destroyed.
