According to public health officials, the number of people who became ill due to a salmonella outbreak linked to Kinder chocolate products has increased to 369 across Europe and North America, including 16 in Ireland.
One additional Irish case involving a second strain has been identified in addition to the initial 15, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). Five of the people affected required hospital treatment.
Across Europe and north America, 274 cases from first cluster or strain and 37 from a second have been confirmed in 16 countries, along with 58 suspected cases. Most cases involved children aged under 10.
The two strains are multi-drug resistant and some samples were also resistant to disinfection using ammonium or hydrogen peroxide. The outbreak has been linked to specific products made in Italian confectionery company Ferrero’s factory in Belgium.
Two salmonella strains were identified in buttermilk used at the Belgian plant, which had come from Italy.

Matvælastofnun warns against consuming one batch of smoked salmon from John Ross Junior, Scotland, which is imported by Costco. The recall of the salmon is due to the fact that the microbial Listeria monocytogenis was detected in the product. The company has, in consultation with the health inspectorates of Garðarbær, Hafnarfjörður, Kópavogur, Mosfellsbær and Seltjarnarnes (HEF), recalled the product with a notification to the buyers who have purchased the product.
Matvælastofnun took samples of the salmon during regular border checks.
The recall only applies to the following batch:
In most healthy individuals, the consumption of listeria-contaminated foods does not cause disease. Risk groups are pregnant women, unborn and newborn babies, the elderly and people with impaired immune systems. Group infections caused by listeria are rare, usually individual infections.
Consumers are asked not to consume the product and discard it. Costco has removed all units of the product in question from disposal and disposed of them. You can get a refund from Costco. For more information contact Costco (help desk)
