Lidl US is expanding its July 24 recall of Eridanous Shortbread Cookies to include all units with a foreign language ingredients and nutrition facts panel for the following products:
- Eridanous Shortbread Cookies with Chocolate Truffle Coating & Apricot Filling – 11.6 oz (330 g) box (UPC 4056489125839)
- Eridanous Shortbread Cookies with Apricot Filling and Cocoa Topping with Coconut Sprinkles – 11.6 oz (330 g) box (UPC 4056489125846)
Both of these products were distributed with foreign language packaging and failed to include English ingredient lists, nutrition facts panels, or required allergen declarations. People who have an allergy or sensitivity to wheat, soy, milk, egg, or tree nut (coconut) run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume these products.
The products were distributed between July 15 and July 28 to all Lidl US retail store locations in Delaware, District of Columbia, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Virginia.
No illnesses have been reported to date.
This recall was originally initiated after foreign language packaging was discovered that did not contain English ingredients, nutrition facts, or allergen declarations. Lidl US is expanding the recall following a review of supplier distribution records, which flagged additional units of the Coconut variant as potentially having the same foreign language packaging errors.
Customers with an allergy or sensitivity to wheat, soy, milk, egg, or tree nut (coconut) should not consume this product.
