Kinder recalls MORE products - including Mini Eggs - just days before Easter

Kinder has issued an urgent warning after recalling more chocolate products - including Mini Eggs - over fears of salmonella.

Ferrero, who make Kinder chocolate, first took precautionary measures to recall Kinder Surprise eggs over the weekend - but now the list has been extended.

The Food Standards Agency has said the recall of Kinder Surprise eggs has been extended to more products - including Kinder Mini Eggs and Kinder Egg Hunt Kits.

Kinder Schokobons have been taken off the shelve over fears that they might be contaminated with Salmonella.

So far, 63 people have become ill with salmonella, with a huge number of cases being kids aged five or younger.

Confirming the recall of the Kinder products, the Food Standard Agency said: "This is in connection with a potential link to a salmonella outbreak. A number of these cases have been young children."

It added: "To reduce the risk of any further illness, consumers should not eat the products listed in the recall alert and they/the parent or guardians of children should follow the risk advice within it."

The products affected are 20g eggs and three-pack of eggs with best before dates up until October 7, 2022.

A further recall has been added for 100g Kinder Surprise eggs, including all dates from April 20, 2022 up to and including August 21, 2022.

Kinder Mini Eggs with a pack size of 75g, Kinder Egg Hunt Kit with a size of 150g and Kinder Schokobons that are 200g are also included - again, with including all dates from April 20 until August 21.

Chocolate manufacturer Ferrero says it has recalled the products as a “precautionary measure” and advised people not to eat them.

Anyone who has bought products with those use-by dates can contact the Ferrero consumer careline on consumers.uk@ferrero.com or 0330 053 8943 to obtain a full refund.
