Kinder Surprise chocolate eggs recall extended to mini eggs and more amid salmonella fears

Earlier this week, parents were issued a “do not eat” warning for their children after the UK Food Standards agency said Kinder Surprise chocolate eggs could have a possible presence of salmonella.

The FSA  said the eggs have a “potential link to a salmonella outbreak” with 57 cases already identified.

Just over three quarters of the cases are children aged five or younger.

Ferrero has recalled selected batches of Kinder Surprise eggs because of the possible presence of salmonella.

If you have bought the below product, do not eat it. Instead, please contact Ferrero to obtain a full refund.
