Lidl has been forced to recall one of its drinks products.
From the Deluxe range, it is recalling the Drinking Chocolate Sticks because the ingredients aren’t listed in English and so may contain ingredients which some people may be allergic to.
All four flavours of the products have been recalled. They include Fine Dark Chocolate, Fine Hazelnut, With Speculoos and Fine White Chocolate.
The Food Safety of Ireland has said:
“Lidl Ireland is recalling four varieties of Deluxe Drinking Chocolate Sticks, as the labels and ingredients lists are not in English. Please refer to the table below for full details of the allergens present in each variety.
These products may be a risk to consumers who are allergic to or intolerant of cereals containing gluten (wheat), milk, soybeans and nuts (hazelnuts) and or their constituents.”
