A company spokesperson told us: "In the United States, only two products are being recalled: Kinder Happy Moments Chocolate Assortment, distributed only at BJ’s Wholesale Club stores and select Costco locations in the Bay Area of California and Northern Nevada; and Kinder Mix Chocolate Treats Confections Assortment Basket distributed in 14 Big Y Supermarket locations, where this product has already been removed from store shelves.

The Ferrero chocolate and confectionery company recently announced a recall of some of its Kinder products due to an outbreak of salmonella. The new recall as well as old internet rumors appeared to have combined forces to fuel a viral Facebook post that's being copied and pasted as copypasta. These posts pushed misleading rumors that said pictures showed maggots and worms in both Kinder chocolate eggs and a product described in the reposts as "Ferrero Rocher Hazelnut Easter Eggs."

The Mini Nutella® Easter Jar, an adorable 1.05 oz. mini glass Nutella Jar available with light green and yellow lids, is sure to brighten any Easter basket. The Ferrero Collection® Bunny Gift Box is a 13-piece assortment of three premium confections: fine Ferrero Rocher hazelnut chocolates, Raffaello®, made with almonds and coconut, and Rondnoir®, a fine dark chocolate with a crisp wafer surrounding a creamy, chocolaty filling with a dark chocolate pearl at the center.

European health officials investigating the salmonella outbreak linked to Kinder products have said they suspect it is related to buttermilk used in a Belgian factory. Finally, taking into account the aforementioned information provided by a Ferrero company spokesperson, we concluded that the viral reposts on Facebook were misleading, to say the least. The key components of this recall, other than the names of the products affected and the fact that these products weren't recalled in the U.S., appeared to be the fact that only one plant was impacted and that it only "accounts for around 7% of total volumes of Kinder products manufactured globally on a yearly basis." These facts were absent from the misleading Facebook reposts.

So… this just happened! ? y’all! Do. Not. Eat. These! We got the Ferrero Rocher Hazelnut Easter Eggs, and Maddy found these all through them. They were in EVERY egg! We looked it up and found a recall on them for traces of salmonella and maggots!! This recall is also for kinder eggs and all ferrero products. This recall was JUST posted so they are still in stores. I know it’s close to Easter time and these are some candy staples… so be careful!! The user also reported receiving what appeared to be harassing messages about family members on unrelated posts, leading to those being deleted as well.
