talian confectionary group Ferrero said on Tuesday it had recalled Kinder chocolate eggs in seven European countries over possible links to dozens of salmonella cases less than two weeks before Easter.
While none of the toy-filled Kinder Surprise chocolate eggs or other products have been proven to contain salmonella, Ferrero told AFP that it issued the recall as a precautionary step.
It concerns products from Ferrero's factory in the Belgian town of Arlon that were put on sale in Belgium, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden.
UK authorities warned the public on Saturday about the Kinder products "in connection with a potential link to a salmonella outbreak" that included children and said Ferrero had issued a recall as a "precautionary step".
An official said Tuesday that the number of salmonella cases in the UK had now risen to 63.
In France, 21 cases have been reported and 15 of those indicated having eaten the Kinder products that have now been recalled, according to the French public health service.
The median age of those stricken is four years old.
