Chocolate firm Ferrero is recalling some batches of Kinder Surprise eggs due to a link with salmonella, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has said.
In an alert, the agency said the recall is due to a "potential link to a salmonella outbreak", adding: "A number of these cases have been young children." Investigations led by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), Public Health Scotland, Public Health Wales and Public Health Agency Northern Ireland have found a link between reported cases of salmonella poisoning across the UK and Kinder Surprise chocolate.
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. As a precautionary measure, Ferrero has recalled the products and people are being advised not to eat them.
