Lidl GB recalls Red Hen Gastro 2 Southern Fried Chicken Thigh Burgers because celery is not emphasised on the label

Why it was recalled

Lidl GB is recalling Red Hen Gastro 2 Southern Fried Chicken Thigh Burgers because the celery in the recipe is not emphasised in bold on the label. Celery is one of the fourteen allergens UK law requires to be highlighted so allergic shoppers can find it at a glance.

The ingredient is listed but easy to miss without the required emphasis, and coated chicken products are not where most people would think to look for celery.
