　　US chocolate giant Mars Tuesday ordered a massiveinternational recall of Mars and Snickers bars madeat its Dutch factory after a customer in Germanyfound a piece of red plastic in his Snickers bar lastmonth.

　　一位德国顾客上月在士力架巧克力棒中发现了一片红色塑料之后，美国巧克力巨头玛氏公司上周二下令在全球范围内大规模召回其荷兰工厂出产的巧克力产品。

　　The recall of the chocoholic snacks also affects MilkyWay minis and some boxes of Celebrations, and hitmost European countries. But it also extended asfar as Vietnam and Sri Lanka in Asia.

　　这次巧克力零食的召回也影响到了包括Milky Way minis和Celebrations在内的产品，且在欧洲国家影响最大。但是远在亚洲的越南和斯里兰卡也在此次召回之列。

　　"As far as we know there are 55 countries involved," Eline Bijveld, Mars corporate affairscoordinator for the Netherlands told AFP, refusing to divulge the whole list.

　　“据我们所知，所涉及的国家一共有55个，”玛氏荷兰公司企业事务协调人员艾琳·比维尔德在接受法新社采访时表示。但是她拒绝透露具体名单。

　　The recall "only involves the products that are made in the Netherlands", she said, adding theproducts were mainly sold in the Netherlands and elsewhere in Europe. Chocolate lovers in theUnited States need not worry as the recall does not extend to the company's home base.

　　比维尔德还表示，召回“仅针对在荷兰生产的产品”，而这些产品主要是在荷兰和欧洲各国进行销售。美国的巧克力爱好者不必担心，因为此次召回并没有影响到位于美国的公司总部基地。

　　Bijveld could not give the exact number of chocolate bars produced daily at the factory, but saidabout four million items were being recalled in The Netherlands alone.

　　比维尔德没有给出该工厂每天生产的巧克力棒的具体数字，但是据说仅在荷兰就有400万条已被召回。

　　"We are currently investigating exactly what's happened, but we cannot be sure that this redpiece of plastic isn't in any other of our products from the same production line," Bijveld said.

　　比维尔德表示：“我们目前正在调查具体情况，但无法确定红色塑料碎片是不是也存在于同一生产流水线上的其他产品。”

　　The recalled products are with a best-before date of between June 19, 2016, and Jan 8, 2017.

　　据悉，本次召回产品的保质期是在2016年6月19日到2017年1月8日之间。
