Belgian Prosecutors Open Criminal Probe Into Ferrero's Arlon Plant
- Substitute prosecutor Anne-Sophie Guilmot confirmed by e-mail the opening of a judicial inquiry and said her office would say nothing more for now[1]

- Ferrero had admitted days earlier that it found salmonella in the Arlon plant on 15 December 2021[1]
- The plant employs between 725 and 1,100 people, making it the largest employer in the province of Luxembourg, and makes Kinder Schoko-Bons for the whole world - about 18 million a day[1]
- The investigation aims to establish possible responsibility for handling the contamination, for food-chain monitoring and for the communication, or not, of information to health authorities[3]
