Ferrero Recalls Belgian-Made Kinder Surprise in UK Over Salmonella

Ferrero recalled batches of Kinder Surprise 20g and 3x20g made in Belgium, best before 11 July to 7 October 2022, because they might carry Salmonella, in an outbreak Belgium's AFSCA linked to the Arlon plant.

Ferrero recalled selected batches of Kinder Surprise in the 20g and 20g x 3 packs, best before any date between 11 July and 7 October 2022, because of the possible presence of Salmonella^[1]
Only Kinder Surprise manufactured in Belgium was affected; buyers were told not to eat it and to contact Ferrero's consumer careline for a full refund^[1]
The Food Standards Agency published it as Product Recall Information Notice FSA-PRIN-22-2022, with point-of-sale notices in shops^[1]
Belgium's AFSCA later said people fell ill in late March and early April and that the cases were linked to Ferrero's Arlon plant^[2]
On 8 April Ferrero extended the recall to the plant's entire output of Kinder Surprise, Kinder Mini Eggs, Kinder Surprise Maxi 100g and Kinder Schokobons^[3]
