Shops and supermarkets across Ireland have been told to remove more Ferrero products from shelves over food safety fears.
A third recall notice has been issued for a number of Kinder chocolates before Easter after a salmonella outbreak hit Ireland and the UK.
Around ten people in Ireland, mostly young children who have all since recovered, became sick as a result of the outbreak, while dozens of cases have been reported across the Irish Sea.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland issued an updated warning on Wednesday alerting Irish consumers over certain batches of the chocolate treats.
The notice, which is the third in recent days, concerns additional batches of Kinder Surprise 20g and Kinder Surprise 20g x 3 products.
Other items also being recalled are certain batches of Kinder Mini Eggs, Kinder Egg Hunt Kit, Kinder Surprise and Kinder Schokobons.
The six products being recalled are:
According to the FSAI: "People infected with Salmonella typically develop symptoms between 12 and 36 hours after infection, but this can range between 6 and 72 hours.
"The most common symptom is diarrhoea, which can sometimes be bloody. Other symptoms may include fever, headache and abdominal cramps.
"The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days. Diarrhoea can occasionally be severe enough to require hospital admission. The elderly, infants, and those with impaired immune systems are more likely to have more severe illness."
Consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batches, while retailers are requested to remove the implicated batches from sale and to display a point-of-sale recall notice in stores where the affected products were sold.
