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 U.S.A. recalled two Kinder assortments made in the Belgian plant where Salmonella Typhimurium was found - 71,280 Happy Moments boxes and 396 Kinder Mix baskets - though no US illnesses were reported.

Belgium's food safety agency AFSCA withdrew the Arlon plant's authorisation after about a hundred salmonellosis cases in Europe, and Ferrero recalled every Kinder Surprise, Mini Eggs, Surprise Maxi and Schoko-Bons made there.

The Luxembourg-province prosecutor's office confirmed a judicial investigation into Ferrero over the salmonella outbreak traced to its Arlon plant, the province's biggest employer and sole maker of Kinder Schoko-Bons.

The public-health division of the Paris court opened a preliminary inquiry into aggravated deception endangering health, involuntary injury and endangering life, after Foodwatch's complaint over Kinder products from Arlon.

Federal judicial police and AFSCA agents carried out six searches at Ferrero sites in Arlon and Brussels and at its Niederanven headquarters in Luxembourg, seizing documents and computer equipment.

Belgium's AFSCA gave the Arlon plant a three-month conditional authorisation, with raw materials and every batch tested before sale, after Ferrero replaced equipment and 300 metres of pipeline.

After three months of supervised production with every batch tested, Belgium's food safety agency gave the Arlon Kinder plant a definitive licence, with closer unannounced inspections for the following year.

Fifteen months after the Kinder outbreak, Ferrero's own checks found salmonella in the Arlon plant's surroundings - floor, stairs or skirting - and it stopped the lines concerned; no finished product tested positive.

Salmonella was found in a batch of All Seasons 8 Kräuter frozen herbs sold in Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd stores in all 16 German states and online, and the producer called it back.

Evergreen Fresh Sprouts of Moyie Springs, Idaho recalled 215 cases of broccoli sprouts on 10 September 2026; CDC counts 32 Salmonella Bovismorbificans illnesses in six states and 3 hospitalizations as of 24 September 2026.
