Lidl Cookies Recalled for Missing English Ingredient Labels

Lidl U.S. has initiated a voluntary recall for its Eridanous Shortbread Cookies with Chocolate Truffle Coating & Apricot Filling. This action was taken because the affected products were found to have foreign-language packaging. Crucially, these packages failed to include English ingredient lists, nutrition facts, and allergen declarations.

The recalled cookies are known to contain wheat, soy, milk, and egg. The absence of these declarations in English presents a significant risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions for consumers with allergies or sensitivities to these ingredients. As of the recall announcement, no illnesses have been reported.

The recall specifically covers 11.6-ounce (330-gram) boxes with UPC 4056489125839. Distribution of these cookies took place from July 15 to July 22. They were sent to Lidl stores located in Delaware, the District of Columbia, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia.

Federal law mandates that packaged foods sold in the U.S. must clearly identify major food allergens in English. Lidl is advising customers with allergies to wheat, soy, milk, or eggs not to consume these cookies. Purchasers can return the product to any Lidl store for a full refund, without needing a receipt. Customers with inquiries can contact the Lidl U.S. Customer Care Hotline.
