Kinder reopens its factory after two months in Belgium

The company was forced to recall products after dozens of cases of salmonella in the UK. Investors are wondering if Ferrari has delayed reaction due to an issue diagnosed in December last year.

According to the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), there were 392 cases of salmonella in the European Union and the United Kingdom as of June. Another 22 cases are still under investigation.
