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.
Ferrero has recalled selected batches of Kinder Surprise eggs because of the possible presence of salmonella.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
