Ferrero's Kinder Surprise chocolate eggs are being recalled as it was feared they may have been contaminated with bacteria that can harm the consumers, especially the children.
The Kinder Surprise chocolates have been removed from the shelves of groceries and convenience stores in the United Kingdom due to the recall order. This chocolate has always been associated with the Easter celebration, and it was unfortunate that the recall was issued just a few weeks before the said annual event.
In any case, a number of Kinder Surprise chocolates were recalled by the Italian confectionary group Ferrero. The company revealed that it made the decision after the discovery of its possible link to dozens of reported cases of salmonella infection.
According to Reuters, the recall affects the Kinder Surprise eggs in single and multipack. This is a popular product among children because it also comes with a small toy that can be collected. Inside, the shell contains chocolate and plastic toys.
"We are voluntarily recalling selected batches of Kinder Surprise as a precautionary step since we have become aware of a possible link to a number of reported cases of salmonella," part of the recall notice reads.
Tina Potter, the head of the Food Standards Agency's (FSA) Incidents also said, "We know that these particular products are popular with young children, especially as Easter approaches, so we would urge parents and guardians of children to check if any products already in their home are affected by this recall."
Ferrero revealed that the affected Kinder Surprise chocolates were made in Belgium but the recall may also be extended to other countries where the sweets are being exported. As for the UK's FSA, it immediately issued advice to the consumers to refrain from eating the affected chocolates that are said to bear the best before the dates of July 11 and Oct. 7.
Currently, it was reported that there are at least 63 cases related to the recall, and the UK Health Security Agency said that the majority of the reported illnesses involve children under five years old, as per BBC News.
