Hidden Celery Sparks Urgent Food Recall at Lidl

A significant product recall has been issued for Red Hen Gastro 2 Southern Fried Chicken Thigh Burgers sold at Lidl. The supermarket urgently removed the £2.49 item from shelves due to a potential allergen risk.

Celery was identified as the undeclared allergen. While mentioned in the ingredients list, it was not emphasized in bold on the packaging. This oversight poses a serious safety risk for individuals with Pollen Food Syndrome, who could experience severe reactions like anaphylactic shock.

Customers who purchased the affected 330-gram batch of chicken thigh burgers are strongly advised not to consume them. They can return the product to their nearest store for a full refund. No other Red Hen products at Lidl are impacted by this recall. This incident follows a separate, recent recall of a popular snack over choking hazards due to foil contamination.
