Salmonella: Ferrero extends chocolate recall to Netherlands, incl. Kinder Surprise egg

Ferrero recalls Kinder Surprise eggs and several other chocolate products in the Netherlands after similar recalls in other European countries. The chocolate producer took this precaution due to a possible link between chocolate made in a Belgian factory and salmonella infections in European countries. According to the European health service ECDC, there are two confirmed cases of salmonella linked to the recall. 

"In the Netherlands, we have not received any complaints from consumers. Also, none of our Kinder products that have been put on the market have tested positive for salmonella. Nevertheless, we take this matter very seriously because consumer care is our highest priority," Ferrero said, according to NU.nl.

The recall affects Kinder Surprise, Kinder Schokobons, Kinder Happy Moments, an advent calendar, and Mix Peluche. Consumers are warned not to eat the chocolate and contact customer service for a refund. "We are working with retailers to ensure that these products are no longer for sale and that they are recalled, "Ferrero said. We take food safety very seriously and regret this matter."
