One chocolate manufacturer issued a Europe-wide recall of its candy bars Tuesday after a piece of plastic was found inside one. 

Mars is the manufacturer behind Milky Way Minis, Celebrations, Snickers and Mars bars, all of which are reportedly affected by the recall

While Mars didn't disclose exactly how many individual candy bars are being recalled, the BBC reports its German production plant "produces about 10 million snacks every day."

According to NBC, the affected candy bars were produced during a roughly one-month time frame between December and January.
