These Kinder Chocolates Were Recalled By Health Canada Due To Possible Salmonella

The CFIA is currently "conducting a food safety investigation, which may lead to the recall of other products. If other high-risk products are recalled, the CFIA will notify the public through updated food recall warnings," Health Canada said. The CFIA is also "verifying that the industry is removing the recalled products from the marketplace."

If you think you are in possession of the affected Kinder products, Health Canada is urging the public to not consume the recalled products and to throw out or return the Kinder items to the point of purchase.

If you have consumed the recalled products, it's important to observe for any possible salmonella-related symptoms.

According to Health Canada, consumption of a product contaminated with salmonella may cause "short-term symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea."

Considering Kinder Mini Eggs, Surprise, and the Egg Hunt Kit are Easter favourites, it's best you check any and all Kinder products you may have purchased as the egg-tastic holiday fast approaches.
