Did the Ferrero group seek to hide the risks of presenting its Kinder chocolates to its consumers? According to the NGO Foodwatch, the brand had been alerted that products were possibly related to salmonella contamination well in advance of the recall.
According toNGO Foodwatch, the British authorities reportedly informed Ferrero on March 23 of a risk of salmonella contamination, 12 days before the withdrawal from the shelves of French supermarkets. “It’s disturbing, because the more we pull the thread, the more we investigate, the more we realize that Ferrero has hidden information“, comments Karine Jacquemart, General Manager of Foodwatch.
The Belgian factory from which the contaminated sweets came was closed. As of Wednesday April 13, 150 cases of salmonellosis have been detected in Europe, and 21 in France. In France, consumers are divided. “Do you honestly believe that we can control what happens in the factories?“, asks one of them, while another believes that he “must inform the consumer“. Another woman says she only buys from her chocolate maker. contacted in the morning by France Télévisions, Ferrero indicates that investigations are underway.
