Lidl recalls two batches of biscuits as ingredients not labelled in English

The FSAI announced the recall on its website this afternoon.

Lidl biscuits FSAI FSAI

LIDL IS RECALLING two batches of biscuits because the ingredients are not labelled in English. 

It’s recalling the following batches: 

  • Lupilu Organic Spelt Biscuits with the best before date 15.09.2019
  • Lupilu Organic Oat Biscuits with the best before date 15.09.2019

The implicated batches contain cereals containing gluten. There may also be an unintentional presence of egg, milk, nuts, peanuts, sesame and soybeans. 

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) said this may make the batches unsafe for consumers who are allergic to or intolerant of cereals containing these ingredients.

The FSAI announced the recall on its website this afternoon.

    Oh no. Gemma O’D will no doubt call this intentional and a sign of Armageddon!

    Could be worth a few grand if you get a certain judge.

    I understand it’s not ideal, but people with life threatening allergies would hardly buy something without making sure the ingredients are safe!

    Just not good enough from a global retailer. Last month it was peanuts in twix style bars, this month, you can even read the ingredients. These slip ups could be life altering or life ending for someone with an allergy, I wonder if there is any sanction for this kind of mess up?

    Seriosuly….i can’t seem the danger. If you have a life threatening allergie…you would hardly buy a product for your child, where you are not 100% sure the ingredients are safe!

    But how can you know they are safe if you can’t read the language they are printed in??

    The way you know something is safe is by reading the ingredients. If you can’t read the ingredients for any reason, then you must assume it is unsafe. If the ingredients clearly stated that there was a potentially fatal allergan present, you could only know this by reading ingredients, in which case you apply sentence number two. Either way, read the ingredients!
