As per Express, the batch of Fin Carré White Chocolate that is contaminated is the one that has a best-before date of October 16, 2024. Lidl issued an apology:
We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation.
Morrisons has also issued a product recall
As per Express, Lidl isn’t the only supermarket to recently issue a product recall, indeed Morrisons has issued a warning for those who bought Free From Gluten Choco Crackles due to undeclared allergens.
The FSA explained that Morrisons Free From Gluten Choco Crackles contains the following ingredients:
- Hazelnuts (nuts)
- Milk
- Gluten-free oats.
The reason this product has been recalled is because the ingredients listed above have not been put on the product label. Morrisons issued the following statement:
Please do not eat this product and return it to your nearest store for a full refund. We don’t need a receipt.
We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause and assure customers of our continuing commitment to the highest standard of product quality and safety.
