Some 57 people, mostly young children, have become infected with salmonella in an outbreak linked to Kinder Surprise eggs. Chocolate firm Ferrero is recalling some batches of the eggs as a precaution while investigations continue into the link, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) said.
No deaths have been reported but around 77% of the cases involve children aged five and under. In an alert, the agency said the recall is due to a “potential link to a salmonella outbreak”.
The products affected are the 20g eggs or the three-pack of eggs, all with a best-before date between July 11 2022 and October 7 2022. Ferrero has recalled the products and people are being advised not to eat them. Anyone who has bought products with those use-by dates can contact the Ferrero consumer careline on [email protected] or 0330 053 8943 to obtain a full refund.
