Lidl GB recalls Deluxe Red Cabbage with Apple, Dried Cranberries & Spices because milk is not emphasised on the label

Why it was recalled

Lidl GB is recalling its Deluxe Red Cabbage with Apple, Dried Cranberries & Spices because the milk in the recipe is not emphasised on the label as allergen rules require. A braised red cabbage side dish is not where most shoppers would expect dairy, which makes the missing emphasis more than a formality.

UK law requires the fourteen major allergens to stand out in the ingredients list, usually in bold, so allergic shoppers can check a label in seconds; this pack fell short of that standard.

Allergens involved: Milk

What this means for you

For everyone else the product is safe to eat, and no action is needed. The official FSA notice carries the authoritative date codes and instructions.
