Company lied, Belgium closes Kinder chocolate factory

Belgian authorities have banned the production of Kinder chocolate at a factory in the south of the country, saying the parent company Ferrero has given it "incomplete information" about a recent outbreak of salmonella poisoning in Europe.

The Belgian Food Safety Agency (FASFC) withdrew its authorization for ferrero's plant in Arlon on Friday and ordered the withdrawal of all products from advertising and the market.

"With immediate effect, all production of Kinder Surprise, Kinder Mini Eggs, Kinder Surprise Maxi 100g and Arlon-made Kinder Schokobons is retiring," Ferrero said in a statement.

The Italian company had already withdrawn some of its Kinder chocolate products on Easter Eve, as they were linked to salmonella infections in a number of European countries.

It all began with a case of salmonella identified in Great Britain in January. Now, the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) say that since 5 April, at least 134 cases have been identified, mainly in children, in at least seven countries.

Kinder is only one company affected by recent withdrawals due to food poisoning outbreaks across Europe. Consumer protection groups say health concerns highlight a weak system of industry-wide safety checks that needs to be revised.

Buitoni, owned by Nestlé, has attracted its entire range of Fraîch'Up frozen pizzas, and Lactalis has attracted tens of thousands of its cheeses, as products were suspected of carrying E.coli and listeria bacteria respectively.

Meanwhile, the withdrawal of a quantity of Kinder Surprise chocolates was also announced by the National Food Authority in our country.
