FAVOURITE SWEET URGENTLY RECALLED FROM THE MARKET?! Dangerous bacteria found, cases also reported in CHILDREN!

In a warning, the FSA stated:

- This is in connection with a potential link to a Salmonella outbreak. A number of these cases have been young children.

Investigations led by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), Public Health Scotland, Public Health Wales and the Public Health Agency in Northern Ireland have found a link between reported cases of Salmonella poisoning across the UK and Kinder eggs. 

These are products with a best before date of between 11 July 2022 and 7 October 2022.

As a precaution, Ferrero recalled the products and people are advised not to eat them. The FSA said all the eggs were produced in the same factory. It is believed that this will not affect other Ferrero products.

Symptoms of Salmonella poisoning typically include diarrhoea, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, and fever. While in most cases the illness tends to go away after a few days, the symptoms can be more severe, especially in the very young and those with weakened immune systems, Espreso writes.
