JAKARTA, Indonesia, April 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Indonesia is not involved in the voluntary recall of selected Kinder products manufactured in Belgium, such as Kinder Surprise as these products have not been imported into the market by PT. Ferrero Confectionery Indonesia.

There are no reported salmonella cases associated with this manufacturing facility.
The company takes the opportunity to highlight the difference between Kinder Surprise and Kinder Joy:
Kinder Joy has two-halves: Comprises of Milky and Cocoa Spreads with 2 Coated Wafer Biscuits, including a Toy. The chocolate and the toy are separated by a protective layer.
