Kinder Bueno was launched in 1990 and is available in 60 countries.[2] It is sold in packs of two, three, six, and boxes of twelve.

Mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbon contamination
The European Food Safety Authority found the chocolate to be contaminated with high levels of mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH), a likely carcinogen.[14] [15] Hydrocarbon contamination is often caused by grain processing techniques, or is introduced to the food by the product's packaging. Kinder's parent company Ferrero disagreed with the EFSA finding, and maintained all products contain below the maximum levels for human consumption. Other common chocolate products were found to contain similar or higher levels of contamination.[16]
