Ferrero has extended its precautionary measure of recalling Kinder products over fears they could be contaminated with salmonella.
Earlier this week, parents were issued a “do not eat” warning for their children after the UK Food Standards agency said Kinder Surprise chocolate eggs could have a possible presence of salmonella.
The FSA said the eggs have a “potential link to a salmonella outbreak” with 57 cases already identified.
Just over three quarters of the cases are children aged five or younger.
Ferrero has recalled selected batches of Kinder Surprise eggs because of the possible presence of salmonella.
