Lidl has recalled one of its speciality-brand Easter eggs, over fears it may contain undeclared milk.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA), which published the alert, said the product was a “possible” health risk as the allergen had not been mentioned on the item’s label.

The supermarket’s Deluxe Ecuadorian Single Origin Easter Egg might pose a risk for anyone with an allergy or an intolerance to the milk or milk constituents.

Lidl has advised customers that if they have an intolerance or an allergy to milk, they should not consume the product.

Customers can now return the item to the store they purchased it from and get a full refund.

The supermarket has said that no other Deluxe products in Lidl GB stores have been affected by the recall.

In a statement, Lidl apologised to customers and said: “Lidl GB is recalling the above-mentioned product as the product may contain milk which is not declared on the label. This may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents.

“If you have bought the above product and have an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents, we advise you not to eat it.

“Customers are asked to return this product to the nearest store where a full refund will be given.

“We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your cooperation.”

What are allergy alerts?

When there is a problem with a food product, it means it should not be sold and, therefore, will be taken off the shelves or recalled by the FSA.

Food can be recalled if there is a risk to customers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect.
