Full list of Kinder chocolates being recalled amid salmonella fears

A number of Kinder products have been recalled in connection with a potential link to a salmonella outbreak in the UK.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) have said that a number of young children in the UK have come down with salmonella poisoning in the past few weeks.

Early investigations into the cases have found a link with the Kinder producer Ferrero.

The company has taken the step recall all products produced at its factory in Arlon, Belgium, as investigations continue.

Consumers have been urged not to eat any of the affected products.

Salmonellosis symptoms are typically resolved within a few days and include diarrhoea, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting and fever.

Symptoms can become more severe and lead to hospitalisation in some circumstances.

Tina Potter, FSA Head of Incidents, said: “We have taken action along with local authorities and authorities in Belgium to minimise the risk based on the evidence so far.

"We welcome the precautionary approach being taken by Ferrero and are advising consumers not to eat any of the products listed in the FSA alert. It is really important that consumers follow this advice to avoid the risk of becoming ill with salmonella poisoning.

“We know that these particular products are popular with young children, especially as Easter approaches, so we would urge parents and guardians of children to check if any products already in their home are affected by this recall.

"The food business involved has voluntarily carried out this product withdrawal and recall and we are working closely with them and their competent authorities to identify the precise cause of this outbreak. We are also working closely with UK and international partners including UKHSA and Food Standards Scotland.”
