Lidl has issued a “do not eat” warning and is recalling one of its Deluxe products because it contains milk, which is “not emphasised” in bold on the label.

This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents, reports the Food Standards Agency (FSA).

The recalled item is Lidl’s Deluxe Red Cabbage with Apple, Dried Cranberries & Spices, with a pack size of 480g - all date and batch codes are included.

No other Deluxe products in Lidl GB stores are affected by this recall.

What should customers who have bought Lidl’s Deluxe Red Cabbage with Apple, Dried Cranberries & Spices do?

What are FSA product allergy recalls and alerts?

The FSA adds: “Sometimes there will be 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“Then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product).

“Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk.

“When there is a food allergy risk, the FSA will issue an Allergy Alert.”
