Kinder Egg recall

The batch of 20g eggs or three-packs of eggs with the best before dates July 11 and October 7 2022 has been recalled as the company believes they have been contaminated with salmonella.

The product thought to be affected have all been manufactured at the same factory.

Other products manufactured by Kinder are not thought to be affected.

Salmonella poisoning

Salmonella poisoning is one of the most common causes of food poisoning. Salmonella poisoning symptoms include:

• Diarrhoea
• Stomach cramps
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Fever

Usually, symptoms only last a few days, but symptoms are often more severe among children and can result in hospitalisation.

Tina Potter from the FSA 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.
