It is certainly not dangerous, if the MCB is 25A and a Type B, this can be assertained by the front of the breaker, it will say B25 or C25 or D25.

That lot is certainly capable of overloading the circuit and causing you nuisance tripping, so it would be a smart move to consider a way to improve it.

You could leave the existing circuit in place, remove a couple of points to reduce it's potential load, and wire in a new ring for the rest of the kitchen supplies.

You could turn the existing circuit into a ring too, but ther is always the potential you could overload that too..if you ever run all the kit at the same time anyway.
