London / Paris Due to salmonella infection in various European countries, Ferrero has withdrawn many baby chocolate products. The starting point of the problems was a factory in Belgium. Authorities are currently engaged in intensive surveillance.
Two weeks before Easter, Ferrero in Germany recalls some volumes of various baby products. The background is a possible link to the Salmonella outbreak. The PA news agency previously reported that 63 people in the UK, mostly young children, were infected with Salmonella. Some infections are also reported in Germany, France, Sweden and other European countries. It was also recalled in France, according to health officials in Paris.
As Ferrero announced on Tuesday, the decision was taken voluntarily as a precautionary measure to recall the vehicle in Germany. The company is working closely with the responsible food authority in Germany to find possible links to several cases of Salmonella. “None of our introduced baby products have been tested positive for Salmonella and we have not received any consumer complaints. We take the matter very seriously.”
Withdrawals in Germany will affect sales dates between April and June 2022 for Kinder Surprise Eggs (three packs), as well as Kinder-Schoko-Bons and Kinder-Schoko-Bons White for sale by May. And September 2022.
According to reports, the Kinder-Surprise Maxi (100g), Kinder-Mini-Egg (100g) and Kinder-Mix packs, which contain one of the above ingredients, are best dated between August and September 2022. According to Ferrero, all products were made in the same factory.
There are 21 cases of infection in the country, according to French health officials in Paris on Tuesday. The same salmonella is genetically responsible for the outbreak in Great Britain and Ireland. All chocolate products for affected children are made at the factory in Arlon, Belgium. According to French sources, Belgian food authorities are investigating.
According to the authorities there, there are no cases of infection in Belgium. However, some cases of suspicion are still being investigated. In addition, officers will conduct additional and targeted tests at Ferrero’s in Belgium.
