chocolate eggs have been connected to more than 100 reported food poisoning cases.Lisa Nash, 51, and partner Steve Lousvet, 56, are getting married this Saturday (April 16) and had planned to give all their guests a Kinder Surprise as a wedding treat.The pair spent £66 purchasing 33 boxes from supermarkets for their Easter-themed wedding as a tribute to Steve's late mum who loved the chocolate eggs.But Lisa and Steve have now been left with stacks of inedible chocolate after Ferrero has issued a product recall.The couple have now demanded an apology from the company for the "distress" caused after their wedding plans were scuppered by the recall.Lisa, from Droitwich on Worcestershire, says she’s “very stressed” by the need to rethink her plans.She explains that the eggs represent a link to Steve’s late mum and that because she bought a few a week, often from different shops, it’s not as simple as just walking into a supermarket and returning them. "The instruction from Kinder is to email them,” she says, “but then you don't get any response beyond the auto reply.

So, I don't know what to do next. "We can't use them at all. We're waiting to know what to do with them. There's no help from them.

They're not giving much information at all" "Its about the fact that this was done for a very specific reason," Lisa explains. "We have ways of representing family.

Now that's gone. We've lost what represented his mum."We chose Kinder Surprise eggs as they fitted the Easter theme and because the groom's late mother loved them."When he was young, the price of entry to his house was a Kinder egg for his mum, so this was a way of paying tribute to her even though she cannot be there."It started as a joke with his friends, bringing her.
