The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said you should check to see if you have the recalled products in your home and if you do, don't consume them.
Recalled items should be thrown out or returned to where they were purchased.
If you think you have gotten sick from consuming a recalled product, you're advised to call your doctor.
The CFIA said that food contaminated with salmonella might not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick.
For young children, pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems, salmonella infections could be serious and sometimes even deadly.
Healthy people may experience short-term symptoms including fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Long-term complications can include severe arthritis.
As of April 6, there have been no reported illnesses in Canada associated with the consumption of the recalled Kinder products.
