The previous recall was announced amid concerns about salmonella and only covered products with the best dates until October 7, 2022. But now it has expanded to include all Kinder products manufactured at the Ferrero Arlon plant since June. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) said the latest update means that all products on the recall notice, no matter what the best date, should not be consumed. The products affected by the recall are Kinder Surprise, Kinder Mini Eggs, Kinder Surprise Egg 100g and Kinder Schoko-Bons. Tina Potter, head of incident at the FSA, said the agency is continuing to investigate the outbreak of salmonella cases linked to Kinder products. “Consumers should follow the advice in the latest withdrawal notice, which details all products that may pose a risk,” he said. “We have emphasized to Belgian companies and authorities the importance of taking the utmost precautionary approach to their recall and the confidence that they will continue to prioritize the needs of consumers in whatever action they take. “We continue to work closely with the UK and international partners, including the UK Health Insurance Agency and Scottish Food Standards, to determine how this epidemic started and to ensure that all necessary steps are taken to diseases “. The UK Health Insurance Agency (UKHSA) announced on Friday that 67 people in the UK, mostly young children, were known to be infected with salmonella by Wednesday. Earlier in the week, Dr. Lesley Larkin, of the UKHSA, said: “Anyone who is concerned about having salmonella symptoms should contact their doctor or call NHS 111. “Salmonella can be transmitted from person to person, so anyone suffering from it should follow good hygiene practices, such as washing their hands thoroughly after using the bath and avoiding handling food for others where possible, if you have symptoms.” Symptoms, which include diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting and fever, usually subside within minutes and can sometimes be more severe, especially in young children and people with weakened immune systems.
