I had a bar earlier on today.

I thought they had brought another new bar out called

PLASTIC BAG SMOOTHY

TREVORCOLMAN

I had two of these and have sent them back. The box actually says - no plastic easier to recycle.

First thing I knew about this, was today. I've just received an email from ocado stating this :

"Our supplier Nestl! UK and Ireland is recalling KitKat Chunky Peanut Butter 48g we delivered to you on 04/10/2012. This action is being taken as a precautionary measure as it has come to their attention that a very small number of these bars could contain small pieces of plastic.

The affected items have a Best Before Date between September 2013 and February 2014. Our systems show that you have been sent one or more of these items. Any consumers who have purchased the above Kit Kat Chunky special variety products with the Best Before Date ranges stated above are advised not to eat the product and to dispose of it"

Those bars of chocolates have been chewed, digested and ejected as soon as I got them delivered, do they think I was buying them to display them in a cabinet?:rotfl:

Only 7 people have found some plastic in it, and they are recalling thousands back. Isn't that a bit over the top?
I am sure you end up eating far worse than plastic in some other products, and without being told about it.
