Hershey Recalls Contaminated Chocolate Bars

The Hershey Company (NYSE : HSY) recalled some of its chocolate and candy bars after quality control tests discovered a possible salmonella contamination.  Affected bars include Oh Henry! bars, Reese Peanut Butter Cups, and Glosettes; among others.  Their halloween and Christmas products are not affected since they are made at a different time of year (no wonder they taste different).  The good news for the public is that the majority of the possibly contaminated product are still in the distribtution chain or in warehouses.  If you have a chocolate bar with a date code between 6415 – 6455 you should call Hershey and arrange for a refund (don’t eat it to test it out).  The contamination was at the Hershey plant in Smith Falls, Ontario.  All production at the plant has been suspended and no news as to when it will resume.
