AN URGENT warning has been issued as multiple Kinder chocolate products – including Mini Eggs – were recalled over Salmonella fears

Chocolate manufacturer Ferrero first took precautionary measures to recall Kinder Surprise eggs over the weekend – but now the list has been extended.

The Food Standards Agency has said the recall of Kinder Surprise eggs has been extended to more products – including Kinder Mini Eggs and Kinder Egg Hunt Kits.

It's over fears that they might be contaminated with Salmonella.

The first food alert was issued on Saturday, April 2 – just weeks before Easter weekend.

It is thought that 63 people, mostly young children, have become infected with salmonella in an outbreak linked to Kinder Surprise eggs.

The suspected contaminated products are the 20g and three pack of 20g Kinder Surprise eggs with best before dates between July 11 and October 7 2022.

It is thought that the contaminated batches are only those that originated in Belgium.

Customers with any of these are being urged not to eat them.

Instead, the FSA suggests customers contact the Ferrero consumer careline on [email protected].

Common symptoms caused by salmonella usually include fever, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps.

These usually begin six hours to six days after infection and last four to seven days.

According to the NHS, salmonella infections don't often require treatment.
