Brits who shop at major supermarkets Tesco, Asda, Morrisons and Sainsbury’s are being warned to check their cupboards for chocolate bought in-store that could pose a risk to their health.

The warning relates to certain types of chocolate affected by the Ferrero recall and could be contaminated by salmonella.

Following an investigation, it was found products produced for the European market, which have already been recalled by Ferrero in Europe, were imported into the UK by companies not linked to Ferrero.

This does not replace the earlier recall which saw supermarkets recall several kinder items.

The Food Standards Agency said: “Action taken by the company Ferrero is recalling the above products. Point of sale notices will be displayed in retail stores that are selling these products.

“These notices explain to customers why the products are being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the products.

“Our advice to consumers If you have bought the above products do not eat them. Instead, please take them back to the store where you purchased the products and request a refund.”

What happens if you get salmonella?

Salmonella infection usually causes diarrhoea, fever and stomach cramps. Symptoms can begin six hours to six days after infection and can last up to a week.
