Health experts have warned people not to eat certain Kinder products as cases of salmonella are still being detected.
According to the UK Heath Security Agency, 76 cases have been found in the UK as of April 29 2022, with the majority of those aged under five years old.
Over Easter, Kinder Eggs and Schoko-Bons were pulled from supermarket shelves over concerns of salmonella.
Confectionary giant Ferrero, owner of Kinder, have recalled their products and adults and children alike have been warned not to eat them.

The UKHSA is continuing to investigate an ongoing outbreak of salmonella linked to certain Kinder products made in one of Ferrero’s factories, in Arlon, Belgium.
The UKHSA add: "We are working with the Food Standards Agency, Food Standards Scotland, Public Health Scotland, Public Health Wales, Public Health Agency Northern Ireland, as well as international public health and food safety authorities, to ensure that the risk to public health is minimised as far as possible.
"We continue to remind people that a range of Kinder Egg products and Schoko-Bons should not be eaten."
Symptoms of salmonellosis, or infection with salmonella, usually resolve themselves within a few days.
However, it can be more severe, especially in young children, those who are pregnant and those with weakened immune systems.
Anybody with concerns that they have symptoms of salmonellosis should contact their GP or call NHS 111.
Salmonella can be spread from person to person as well as from food, so anyone affected should adhere to good hygiene practices, such as washing hands thoroughly after using the bathroom and avoiding handling food for others where possible, if you have symptoms.
The products recalled are:
- Kinder Surprise 20g and 3x 20g
- Kinder Surprise 100g
- Kinder Egg Hunt
- Kinder Mini Eggs
- Kinder Schoko-Bons
A spokesperson for Ferrero said: “We are shocked and profoundly sorry to hear about children who have suffered from salmonella and are taking all steps to ensure this does not happen again.
"We deeply regret this matter and continue to co-operate with the UK Food Standards Agency, the Food Safety Authority of Ireland and Food Standards Scotland.
"Food safety, quality and consumer care has been at the heart of our business since the company was founded. This serious event goes to the core of what we stand for and we will take every step necessary to preserve the full trust and confidence of our consumers.”
