Two workers at a Pennsylvania plant where candy is made were rescued from a chocolate tank Thursday, authorities said.
The pair was pulled from a vat of dry chocolate, according to a spokesperson for Lancaster County emergency dispatch.
Mars Wrigley, maker of M&M’s, Snickers, Twix, and other confections, said in a statement the employees were being evaluated.
“We can confirm both people have been taken offsite for further evaluation,” a company spokesperson said. “We’re extremely grateful for the quick work of the first responders.”
It wasn’t clear if the two sustained injuries. NBC affiliate WGAL of Lancaster reported the pair was hospitalized.
The Elizabethtown Fire Department made the rescue, according to the Lancaster County emergency dispatch spokesperson.
