Greek food authority orders recall of Kinder Schokobons and Surprise Maxi chocolates
The Hellenic Food Authority (EFET) ordered a recall on Friday of all Kinder Schokobons and Kinder Surprise Maxi (100 gr) chocolates, regardless of production batch, over fears of possible salmonella infections.
EFET said the recall is a result of the inability of manufacturer Ferrero Ardennes, based in Belgium, to guarantee its products' safety. According to media reports, Belgian authorities shut down the factory on Friday, after accounts from several countries of salmonella infections. Ferrero in Greece had reported a recall of specific batches on Wednesday, and notified EFET.
The food safety authority has called on consumers who have purchased these two products to contact Ferrero International SA Greece at the address info.ferrero.gr@ferrero.com.
