The chocolates have been recalled due to the possible presence of salmonella.

The bacteria can cause food poisoning, with symptoms including fever, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps.

It is thought that 63 people, mostly young children, have become infected with salmonella in an outbreak linked to Kinder Surprise eggs.

Ferrero issued its first warning on April 2 before extending the recall to more Kinder chocolates including its Egg Hunt kits.
