Ferrero Recalls Some Chocolate Eggs Just Weeks Before Easter

Ferrero International S.A. is recalling batches of its popular chocolate Easter eggs in the U.K. and Ireland over a possible link to a number of reported cases of salmonella.

The recall applies to Kinder Surprise eggs with best before dates between July 11 and Oct. 7, the company said in a statement on Saturday. The company is cooperating with the U.K. Food Standards Agency and the Food Safety Authority of Ireland, and is working to ensure those products are no longer available to purchase.
