The Food Standards Agency (FSA), a government department responsible for protecting public health in relation to food, released a food alert on Saturday April 2.

It announced that Ferrero is recalling selected batches of Kinder Surprise because of possible salmonella contamination.

The suspected 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].

Alternatively, you can call Ferrero on 0330 053 8943 UK or 0330 053 8943 Ireland to obtain a full refund.

Point of sale signs will be placed in stores selling this product to explain the reasons behind the recall, and to advise what to do if customers have already bought one.
