Lidl US has announced a recall of its Eridanous Shortbread Cookies with Chocolate Truffle Coating & Apricot Filling due to undeclared allergens. The recall affects all 11.6 oz (330 g) boxes with UPC 4056489125839.
Products Affected:
- Eridanous Shortbread Cookies with Chocolate Truffle Coating & Apricot Filling
- 11.6 oz (330 g) box
- UPC: 4056489125839
Reason for Recall:
The recall was initiated because the packaging, which is in a foreign language, does not include English ingredient lists, nutrition facts, or allergen declarations. This oversight means the presence of wheat, soy, milk, and egg allergens was not disclosed, posing a risk to individuals with allergies or sensitivities to these ingredients.
Consumer Guidance:
Consumers who have purchased these cookies and have allergies or sensitivities to wheat, soy, milk, or eggs should not consume them. Affected products can be discarded or returned to any Lidl store for a full refund, and no receipt is required. For further information, customers can contact the Lidl US Customer Care Hotline at (844) 747-5435, available Monday through Saturday from 8 am to 8 pm ET.
Health Risks:
While no illnesses have been reported, consuming these products could lead to serious or life-threatening allergic reactions for those with allergies to the undeclared ingredients.
This recall is being conducted with the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and Lidl US emphasizes their commitment to customer safety and product quality.
