According to Anvisa, about two batches of chocolate from Garoto are being prohibited from being sold due to possible contamination by glass fragments

ANVISA (National Health Surveillance Agency) validated a ban on the sale, distribution, and use of certain chocolates from the Garoto brand that are suspected of contamination.

The ban, provided in Resolução-RE No. 3.420, published on Tuesday, the 18th, is valid for two batches of Garoto chocolate.

However, prior to the announcement made by Anvisa, Garoto had already stated that it would voluntarily recall all chocolates from the two batches that may contain glass fragments.

CHOCOLATE CONTAMINATION

Anvisa Suspends Sale of Two Batches of Chocolates from Garoto

How The Contamination Happened

According to a statement from Anvisa, Garoto identified a malfunction in one of its production equipment and, because of that, there is a risk of containing small glass fragments in chocolates from two specific batches of Garoto.

“The procedure for recalling the contaminated chocolates was initiated by the company, due to the detection of damage in one of its production equipment with the risk of containing small glass fragments in products from the mentioned batches, which could cause injuries to the mouth or mucous membranes,” Anvisa said in a statement.

Which Batches Are Contaminated?

According to Garoto and Anvisa, one of the batches is the 80g bar of milk chocolate with cashew nuts: batch 225212941G, valid until 09/09/2023. And the other batch is the milk chocolate with Cashew Nuts and Raisins, also 80 grams: 225312941G, valid until 09/09/2023.

Garoto also informs that, according to the documentation the company presented to Anvisa, the vast majority of the products in the contaminated batches were not sold.

Still based on the documentation, there is a possibility that some Garoto chocolates that were at risk of contamination were distributed in Vila Velha (ES) and in the state of Santa Catarina.

Company Statement

According to Garoto, consumers who have purchased chocolates from the mentioned batches SHOULD NOT consume the products.

If a customer has purchased the contaminated product, the company advises them to keep the packaging and contact Garoto Consumer Service at 0800 055 95 50, Monday to Friday, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. (except holidays), or via email at sacgaroto@garoto.com.br.

Customers can exchange the chocolates for free or receive a refund for the product.
