Lidl recalls products causing ‘burning sensation’ when eaten

by Editor

The supermarket has recalled two Alpenfest Salted Mini Pretzel products because of the issue, with could also cause discomfort when swallowed, making them unsafe for customers.

The affected products are the Alpenfest Salted Mini Pretzel – Milk Chocolate and the Alpenfest Salted Mini Pretzel – Dark Chocolate.

Both affected batches have a best before date of June 30.

A spokesman for the Food Standards Agency (FSA) warned customers who had already purchased the pretzels from Lidl not to eat them.

They said: “Lidl GB is recalling the above products. Point of sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores that are selling these products.

“These notices explain to customers why the products are being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the products. 

“If you have bought any of the above products do not consume them. Instead, return them to the nearest Lidl store for a full refund.

“For further information, please contact Lidl Customer Care on customer.care@lidl.co.uk or 02039665566.”

A Lidl spokesman added: “We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your cooperation.”

No other Alpenfest products sold at Lidl are affected by the recall.

What is a product recall?

If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be ‘withdrawn’ (taken off the shelves) or ‘recalled’ (when customers are asked to return the product).

The FSA issues Product Withdrawal Information Notices and Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food.

In some cases, a ‘Food Alert for Action’ is issued.

This provides local authorities with details of specific actions to be taken on behalf of consumers.
