Controversy level
- A salmonella outbreak traced to the Arlon (Belgium) plant in early 2022 led to the largest international recall of Kinder chocolate products in the company's history, with Belgian authorities later finding that internal positive salmonella tests from December 2021 had not been disclosed to regulators before recall.
