Lidl issues urgent recall for stroopwaffles that 'might' contain chunks of metal - can you get a refund and do you need a receipt?
A UK supermarket giant has issued an urgent food recall notice - because one of their products might have chunks of metal in them.
Lidl has issued a recall for its XXL Sondey Stroopwaffel with caramel flavour filling and butter, due to fears the product may contain pieces of metal, making it unsafe to eat.
The supermarket confirmed that point-of-sale notices will be displayed in all affected stores, advising customers of the recall and explaining what to do if they’ve purchased the product.
Shoppers who have bought the stroopwaffels are urged not to eat them. Instead, they should return the item to any Lidl store for a full refund, regardless of whether they have a recepit or not.
Customers seeking more information can contact Lidl Customer Care by emailing [email protected] or calling 0203 966 5566.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has also shared details of the recall, noting that it falls under the agency’s procedures for removing unsafe products from sale.
Food recalls are issued when a product poses a health or safety risk to consumers, and local authorities are notified to ensure the items are withdrawn from shelves promptly.
