Kinder Easter Eggs recalled due to salmonella poisoning

A number of Kinder Surprise eggs products have been urgently recalled from Woolworths, Coles, Kmart, Big W and other major retailers.

The popular Ferrero Rocher buys have been pulled from shelves due to salmonella contamination. More than 100 people around the world have fallen sick with salmonella poisoning after eating the Kinder Surprise chocolates including a two-year-old girl in England who has been hospitalised.

Anyone who has purchased the following products are advised to safely dispose and not consume the products as they may cause illness:

Kinder Surprise Maxi – Natoons 100g – best before dates from 23/8/22 up to and including 13/9/22

Food Standards Australia has advised that Kinder Surprise 20g single and three-pack eggs in white, blue and pink varieties sold in Australia are not affected by the recall.

All other Ferrero products – including other Kinder products – are not affected by this recall.
