Several Kinder products are withdrawn from the Norwegian market

The factory was closed on Friday, and the owner went out with an apology. It is suspected that a salmonella outbreak in Europe originated from the factory.

All products produced at the factory are withdrawn from the market. It also has consequences in Norway. The Norwegian Food Safety Authority writes in a press release on Friday that the products have been sold to the large retail chains and may have come in via parallel imports as well.

Closes factory

Belgian authorities close a Kinder chocolate factory suspected of being the source of a salmonella outbreak. The manufacturer apologizes for the outbreak.

The factory, which is owned by the Italian chocolate giant Ferrero, was closed because the Belgian Food Safety Authority says they have not received the information they have requested from the manufacturer. All Kinder products from the factory are also withdrawn.

– It is never easy to make such a decision, but the circumstances make it necessary. We can never put food security aside, says Belgian Agriculture Minister David Clarnival.

On Thursday, Ferrero recalled several Kinder products delivered from the factory in Belgian Arlon to the United States.

There are 63 cases of salmonella registered in the UK and 21 in France that can probably be linked to Kinder chocolate. Several products have been recalled in a number of countries, including Norway.
