The Food Standards Agency are advising consumers not to eat Kinder Surprise eggs products amid a potential link to a salmonella outbreak. A number of these cases have been young children.
Investigations, led by 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 a specific product produced by the Ferrero company.
Ferrero has taken the precautionary step to undertake a product withdrawal and recall with immediate effect whilst investigations continue. The product thought to be affected have all been manufactured at the same factory. Other products manufactured by Kinder are not thought to be affected.
