Lidl issues a vital alert regarding a product that may pose a health risk to specific consumer groups. Customers impacted by this matter are advised not to consume the product in question, ‘Deluxe Red Cabbage with Apple, Dried Cranberries & Spices,’ and to return it to the store for a full refund, as it contains undeclared milk. This omission could be problematic for individuals with milk allergies or intolerances.
The supermarket’s product recall applies to all 480g packs of the spices, irrespective of batch codes or use-by dates, within the ‘Deluxe’ range. However, Lidl emphasized that no other products within the Deluxe line are affected by this recall.
If you suspect you have purchased the affected item, you can return it to your local Lidl store for a full refund. Lidl expresses regret for any inconvenience caused and appreciates customers’ cooperation during this recall.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA), overseeing food safety and hygiene in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, also issued a notice regarding the Lidl recall. According to the FSA, such allergy alerts are issued when a food product poses a risk due to allergens, necessitating its removal from sale to prevent harm to consumers.
In cases where a food product should not be sold due to safety concerns, it may be withdrawn or recalled. This action is taken if there is a risk to consumers, such as missing or incorrect allergy labeling. When a food allergy risk is identified, the FSA issues an Allergy Alert to safeguard public health.
