Lidl has issued a warning amid an urgent recall of one of their chocolate bars
Lidl is one of the best places to bag a food shopping bargain, but the outlet has recently issued a warning to shoppers after a fault was found with one of their products.
Fin Carre White Chocolate has been removed from shelves after it was found that the item may contain small pieces of plastic.
“This product may contain pieces of plastic which makes it unsafe to eat,” the supermarket warned shoppers.
“If you have bought the above product do not eat it. Instead, return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund,” they added.
Officials said the recall’s reasoning was due to “potential presence of foreign bodies which may present a choking hazard” inside the product.
A spokesperson for the Food Standards Agency said: “Lidl GB is recalling Fin Carré White Chocolate because it may contain pieces of plastic.
“The possible presence of plastic makes this product unsafe to eat.”
The affected items are Fin Carre White Chocolate with a best before date of October 16, 2024.
The company apologised for the inconvenience to customers.
“Any customers with queries or concerns can contact Lidl Customer Services on 0203 966 5566 or customer.care@lidl.co.uk,” they said.
