The Food Standards Agency, Food Standards Scotland and the UK Health Security Agency have issued another reminder to avoid eating a range of Kinder products this Easter weekend. Following an outbreak of Salmonella linked to certain Kinder product ranges and Schoko-Bons produced at one of the Ferrero company's factories in Arlon, Belgium, the agencies are continuing to work with Public Health sectors in Scotland, Wales and the Public Health Agency Northern Ireland - plus international public health and food safety authorities - to investigate.
As of April 15, there are 70 cases linked to this outbreak in the UK alone. The majority of the cases are in children under the age of five.
Emily Miles, Chief Executive of the Food Standards Agency, said: “As we go into the Easter weekend, we are strongly urging consumers to follow the advice in the latest recall notice and to check any Kinder products they might have already bought against the list detailed in the notice, as they may pose a risk to health. If they do have any products on the list, they should not eat them and should discard them immediately.
