The FDA reported that Ferrero U.S.A. (Parsippany, New Jersey)  recalled its Kinder ® Happy Moments Chocolate Assortment and Kinder ® Mix Chocolate Treats basket because the product may be contaminated with Salmonella Typhimurium. Two products were recalled “Kinder Happy Moments Milk Chocolate and Crispy Wafers Assortment” and “Kinder Mix Chocolate Treats Basket.” In the manufacturing facility where the products were manufactured, Salmonella typhimurium was detected. While there are no reports of illness in the United States to date, Ferrero voluntarily recalls the products out of an abundance of caution due to reported cases of Salmonella in consumers that consumed products in Europe that were manufactured at the same facility. @ https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/ferrero-voluntarily-recalls-kinderr-happy-moments-chocolate-assortment-and-kinderr-mix-chocolate?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery
