Parents have been urged not to give their children certain types of Kinder Surprise Eggs this Easter due to possible health and safety concerns.
Certain batches of the popular children's chocolate have been recalled after 57 cases of people became ill, with most of them being children.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has said that the chocolate eggs have been linked to a "possible outbreak of salmonella", with over a third of the cases being children aged five and under.
In response to the alert, the companies owner Ferrero has recalled their 20g eggs or the three-pack of eggs with a best-before date between July 11 2022 and October 7 2022.
No deaths have been reported, but parents who have purchased the chocolate eggs are being urged not to let their children consume them.
Anyone who has bought products with those use-by dates can contact the Ferrero consumer careline on [email protected] or 0330 053 8943 to obtain a full refund.
The FSA said the eggs have all been manufactured at the same factory, and other Ferrero products are not thought to be affected.
Investigations so far have been led by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), Public Health Scotland, Public Health Wales and Public Health Agency Northern Ireland.
Symptoms of salmonella include diarrhoea, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting and fever.
While most cases resolve in a few days, symptoms can be severe and lead to hospital admission, especially in the very young and those with weakened immune systems.
Tina Potter, FSA head of incidents, said: "We welcome the precautionary approach being taken by Ferrero and are advising consumers not to eat any of the products listed in the FSA alert.
