Lidl expands recall of Eridanous Shortbread Cookies due to undeclared allergens

Food Safety NewsAugust 6, 20261 min read

This is an editorial summary of research originally reported by Food Safety News. ProductSafer does not claim ownership of the underlying research. All intellectual property belongs to the original publishers.

Lidl is recalling Eridanous Shortbread Cookies because they contain undeclared allergens that aren't listed on some packages. If you're allergic to nuts, milk, or other common allergens, these cookies could trigger a serious reaction. Check your pantry if you bought this product, and return it to Lidl for a refund.

Eridanous Shortbread Cookies sold at Lidl stores contain undeclared allergens that don't appear on some product packages. The cookies can carry nuts and milk, among other common allergens. People with allergies to these ingredients face the risk of a serious allergic reaction if they consume the product without knowing what's inside.

Lidl has expanded its recall to address the labeling problem. The company didn't specify how many packages are affected or which production dates are involved. Shoppers who purchased these cookies won't know from the label alone whether the batch they have contains the hidden allergens.

If you bought Eridanous Shortbread Cookies from Lidl recently, take them out of your pantry and check the package. Don't eat them if you have a nut allergy, milk allergy, or sensitivity to other common allergens. Return the product to your local Lidl store for a full refund. You don't need a receipt. If you're unsure whether your purchase is part of the recall, ask a store employee or contact Lidl's customer service for details about which batches are affected.

What vegan and vegetarian diets🍎 Food

Vegetarian and vegan diets don't indicate eating disorders, research shows

Vegetarian and vegan diets are not signs of eating disorders, contrary to what some people assume. Researchers found that choosing to skip meat doesn't indicate disordered eating patterns. This matters because people following plant-based diets often face unfair scrutiny about their food choices.

Raw fish consumption linked to parasitic infection risk

Raw fish dishes like sushi and ceviche can expose you to parasitic infections that cause stomach pain, nausea, and digestive problems. Freezing fish to very low temperatures kills most parasites, so choosing frozen raw fish over fresh is safer when eating these dishes.
