All product labels should list allergens in bold font to alert consumers, but this was not the case on certain packs of ‘Red Hen 4 Tempura Chicken Steaks 380g’ which contain milk.
This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents, as they may fail to notice that the product is made with milk.
Packs with a best before date of 11 December 2026, 16 December 2026, 22 December 2026, 30 December 2026 or 16 January 2027 have been impacted by the issue.
Lidl has been advised to contact the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall. The retailer has also issued a point-of-sale notice to all stores that sell the product.
Anyone that has bought the product and has an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents has been advised not to eat it. Instead, they should return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund.
“We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your cooperation,” Lidl said.
