The FASFC decided to withdraw the factory’s authorization to continue operations and to remind consumers to return all Kinder products manufactured at that plant in April.

At the end of last week, Ferrero officially submitted a new authorization request to the FASFC.

If the FASFC’s assessment conclusions are favorable, a provisional authorization will be granted.
