Lidl recalls Red Hen 4 Tempura Chicken Steaks because milk is not emphasised on the label
Why it was recalled
Lidl is recalling Red Hen 4 Tempura Chicken Steaks because the milk in the recipe is not emphasised in bold on the label as UK allergen rules require. Tempura batters commonly contain milk, but the whole point of the emphasis rule is that shoppers should not need to know recipe conventions.
The ingredient is listed, just not highlighted, and for someone scanning quickly for dairy, that difference can be the whole ballgame.
Allergens involved: Milk
