Certain Kinder products recalled due to salmonella contamination

ONTARIO – Health Canada has issued a recall of certain Kinder chocolate products due to suspected salmonella contamination.

The products were sold nationally, so this recall is Canada wide. Anyone in possession of a recalled product is being instructed not to consume it and instead to either throw them out or return them to the location they were purchased.

“Food contaminated with Salmonella may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick. Young children, pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems may contract serious and sometimes deadly infections. Healthy people may experience short-term symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Long-term complications may include severe arthritis,” reads a statement from Health Canada.

The recalled products, including product name, size, UPC, and best before dates are listed below:
