After eating "Kinder egg" in Britain, 63 people were infected with salmonella, most of them children
About 63 people in Britain, most of them young children, were infected with salmonella, in an incident linked to the "Kinder Surprise" egg, which is popular among children and adults as well, which is a chocolate egg with a small toy inside.
And the British “PA Media” news agency quoted the Food Standards Agency as saying that the company, “Ferrero”, the chocolate manufacturer, is in the process of withdrawing some quantities from the famous egg that is manufactured in Belgium, as a precaution while investigations continue into the incident.
And reports of more cases of infection were reported in European countries, including Ireland, France, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands.
No deaths were recorded in Britain, but most cases were recorded among children aged five years or younger.
Ferrero recalled the products and advised people not to take them.
The Food Standards Agency said the chocolate eggs were all manufactured in the same factory, and that there was no thought to be any harm in other Ferrero products.
