A recall of Kinder chocolate products amid salmonella fears has been extended to include all of those manufactured at a site in Belgium, regardless of their best-before date.
Chocolate firm Ferrero said it is suspending operations at its plant in Arlon, which it said will only reopen “once certified by the authorities”. Ferrero said it acknowledged “internal inefficiencies, creating delays in retrieving and sharing information in a timely manner” and said these had “impacted the speed and effectiveness of the investigations”.
The widening of the recall to include all Kinder products manufactured at the site between June and the present date was announced by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) on Friday night. The previous recall only covered products with best-before dates up to October 7, 2022.
