Ferrero has extended its precautionary measure of recalling Kinder products over fears they could be contaminated with salmonella.

Earlier this week, parents were issued a “do not eat” warning for their children after the UK Food Standards agency said Kinder Surprise chocolate eggs could have a possible presence of salmonella.

The FSA  said the eggs have a “potential link to a salmonella outbreak” with 57 cases already identified.

Just over three quarters of the cases are in children aged five or younger.

Symptoms of 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.

Full list of Kinder products recalled over salmonella fears

The recall has been extended to five Kinder products.
