Who'd have thought Cadbury Mini Eggs had an age warning? As we edge closer to Easter, parents are being warned about the sugary pieces of heaven.

Posting on Facebook page Nanny Valentine - Child Behaviour Coach in 2017, one mum shared the choking hazard: "Many parents are now aware of the dangers of grapes and cut them in half.

"Many parents don't even see these chocolate treats as a danger but they are and mustn't be given to children under four! I cringe every time I see little ones munching on these delicious treats.

"They are hard and the perfect shape to get lodged in a child's throat. If this post saves a little one from a terrible accident then it's worth me posting. My children are often bought these at Easter but sorry boys Mummy has to eat these."

Another Twitter post read: "Please remember that Mini Eggs are a choking hazard and not advised to be given to children under 4 years of age. Please choose larger eggs that can be broken up & would not obstruct an airway"

A spokesperson for Cadbury told the Daily Mirror: "The safety of our customers is of the utmost importance to us and we ensure that all of our Cadbury Mini Eggs packaging very clearly carries the following warning: Choking Hazard: This product is Not suitable for children under 4.”
