Kinder brand chocolate eggs are again being recalled across the country due to possible salmonella contamination.
Among the recalled products are Advent calendars, mini eggs and assortments of confectionery.
In all, twenty products are now covered by the warning updated Monday by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and triggered as a preventive measure by Ferrero Canada.
Anyone in possession of the recalled products should discard them or return them to their retailer for compensation.
Salmonella bacteria are responsible for salmonellosis, a disease that usually manifests as severe food poisoning, with symptoms including fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea .
Foods contaminated with this bacterium show no visible or olfactory spoilage, the CFIA said.
