The Ministry of Health, following previous Press Releases on KINDER products, informs the consumer public that according to information received by the Health Services through the Early Warning System for Food and Feed (RASFF), the Belgian Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain - AFSCA has withdrawn the operating licence of the Ferrero d'Arlon production plant in Belgium involved in the salmonellosis cases reported in several European countries. This development is due to the failure of the producing company to ensure that the products produced are safe.
As a result, ALL "Kinder Surprise", "Kinder Surprise Maxi", "Kinder Mini Eggs" and "Schoko-bons" products, regardless of batches or expiry dates, are being recalled.
It is noted that the official import representative in Cyprus is withdrawing "Schoko-bons" and "Kinder Surprise Maxi"
In addition, the recall of the products announced on April 7, 2022 applies to the recall of products received from Lidl.
It is understood that investigations in the Member States where the affected products are manufactured are ongoing and that the case is being closely monitored by the Competent Authorities and if new information on additional products and/or batches becomes available, the consumer public will be informed immediately by a new announcement.
