DOHA: The Ministry of Public Health said yesterday the Qatari market is free from Mars and Snickers chocolate bars manufactured in the Netherlands that have been recalled internationally.
US chocolate giant Mars on Tuesday ordered an international recall of Mars and Snickers bars made in the Netherlands after a piece of plastic found in one snack was traced back to a factory there.
The ministry said that Mars company unit in the Gulf and the company agent in Qatar have informed that they have not distributed any Mars products in the local market that fall in the recalled category. Only 100 cartons of such products were imported to the country and they stopped them from being distributed in the market.
