UPDATE: More Kinder Surprise Chocolates Recalled

More popular Kinder Surprise products sold nationally have been recalled due to potential Salmonella contamination.

The Ferrero Australia Kinder chocolate products have been available at Coles, Woolworths, Target, Kmart, Big W, independent food retailers including IGA and petrol stations, and online.

Food Standards Australia is warning that the products shouldn’t be eaten, and need to be returned to the place of purchase for a full refund. Anyone concerned about their health needs to seek medical advice.

Very concerning. Normally my kids end up with a fair bit of kinder chocolate. Not a single one this year. Far too risky

This is a huge recall; what a dissapointment right before Easter so many kids won’t understand why

It’s a shame. Because I love Kinder chocolate. Luckily I haven’t bought any for a while. But with Easter coming up I guess a lot of people were buying it. Hopefully they get the recall message.

So pleased that you keep us up to date with these recalls. I did see and hear about it on TV news but not in the detail you have given here. Thanks Moms.

What a shame for everyone that had bought these and thought they were organised for Easter. I hope there aren’t many consumed already.

Thank you! My little ones ate a 3 pack of the Kinder blue bunnies before I heard about this. So thankful they are not in the recall. How on earth does chocolate get salmonella? It’s usually in egg or chicken products!

Hopefully these products have been purchased for Easter, and not been eaten yet.

Thankfully the Kinder chocolate I brought for Easter wasn’t any of these ones.

It’s a pain thinking you are actually prepared for Easter to hear this and have to take some of the chocolate back
