Toddler hospitalised by Easter eggs kept eating the contaminated treats
<p>An English toddler has been hospitalised after eating easter eggs that are believed to have been contaminated with salmonella.</p>
<p>More than 100 people worldwide have contracted salmonella poisoning after consuming the Kinder Surprise chocolates, which has led to an urgent global recall.</p>
<p>In England, two-year-old Miley fell ill after eating her favourite treat.</p>
<p>“She hadn’t kept any fluids down, she was being quite violently sick,” her mother said.</p>
<p>“She was getting a lot of pain in her stomach and we literally put her in the car and took her straight to hospital.”</p>
<p>But, unaware of what was causing the illness, Miley kept eating the chocolates during her recovery.</p>
<p>“She was even having it in the hospital bed at one point because at that point we didn’t know,” her mother said.</p>
<p>In Australia, the chocolates have been urgently recalled from Woolworths, Coles, Kmart, Big W and other major retailers just 10 days out from Easter.</p>
<p>Food Standards Australia has warned consumers not to eat the recalled products as they may cause illness.</p>
