There are those who say that the best pleasures in life ruin your hair. And, of course, they may be right. However, they could also have mentioned that some of them also harm health. One of the examples that best demonstrates this theory is chocolate.
This food is a real gastronomic weakness for most of the population. Consuming it is an absolute delight and, surely, we would all consume it very regularly if we did not know that it is not entirely healthy. Despite the presence of cocoa, which is not harmful, the large amount of sugar and milk make it an enemy for our health.
For that same reason, Mercadona wanted to change the rules of the game. In 2021, Juan Roig’s supermarket launched a chocolate bar with a tiny amount of additives. Most of its production was carried out with cocoa. Depending on the product, it could contain from 70% to 99% of this fruit.
And, so far, it had been going great. A healthy chocolate; practically everyone’s fantasy. However, the Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (AESAN) reported on Saturday afternoon that “the presence of a foreign body” had been found in the dark chocolate bars with almonds (72% cocoa) of the Hacendado brand. . Specifically, Lot I23325M1, with an expiration date of May 2025, produced in Portugal.
And, given this situation, this Agency associated with the Ministry of Social Rights, Consumption and Agenda 2030 has advised against its consumption to Mercadona customers who had already purchased it, as well as its removal from the Mercadona aisles.
