Ferrero have continued to withdraw and recall these products due to their possible link to reported cases of Salmonella in the United Kingdom. Salmonella symptoms usually include fever, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps. It is important to note that no outbreak of Salmonella has been identified in Gibraltar and the action taken is precautionary.  

The Belgian health authorities have informed, through the European Food Alert Network, that the recall has been extended to all batches of Kinder products manufactured in the Arlon factory plant in Belgium. Due to this, the products made in the factory are subject to withdrawal regardless of their expiration date. The recall does not affect any other products from their brand that have not been mentioned.

Gibraltar businesses who import and or sell these products have been contacted. Affected products should have already been removed from sale. 

Point-of-sale notices will be placed in all retail stores that are selling these products in Gibraltar.  

Consumer advice: 

Do not eat this product. 

Instead: 

•  Check if you have bought the affected product with the identified best before date(s) of the affected Ferrero products.
•  Return the product(s) to the store of purchase for a full refund.

Further information can be obtained by contacting the Environmental Agency on Tel 20070620 or emailing admin@eag.gi
