europe’s health agency said on wednesday it is investigating dozens of reported and suspected cases of salmonella linked with eating chocolate in at least nine countries.

ferrero described the recalls as precautionary and said on wednesday that no kinder products released to the market had tested positive for salmonella.
“the outbreak is characterized by an unusually high proportion of children being hospitalized, some with severe clinical symptoms such as bloody diarrhea,” the european centre for disease prevention and control said.
the agency did not mention ferrero or any other company in a statement, but warned on wednesday that the reported cases were mostly among children under 10 years old.

the agency later said that kinder chocolate eggs were involved but did not clarify whether the problem concerned exclusively those products.
“food contaminated with salmonella may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick,” health canada says. “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.”
