Lidl GB recalls popular frozen meat product for fears of plastic contamination

The budget retailer has warned customers not to eat certain batches of one of its frozen chicken products.

A statement issued by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) read that Lidl GB recalled the Red Hen Battered 25 Chicken Dippers because they may contain pieces of “hard blue plastic”.

The FSA explained: “If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be ‘withdrawn’ (taken off the shelves) or ‘recalled’ (when customers are asked to return the product).”

In this case, the retailer has urged people who have purchased affected batches of the item to return it to stores for a full refund.

According to the supermarket, point-of-sale notices will be displayed in all Lidl GB stores to make customers aware of the recall.

These notices explain to shoppers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product. 

In this case, Lidl has urged people specifically in England and Wales not to eat the chicken dippers and to retain the packaging to return to stores.

Earlier this year the budget supermarket recalled the McEnnedy Corn Dogs because of the presence of Listeria monoctogenes.

The bacteria was been found in the product and accompanying sauce, prompting the withdrawal of affected batches from shelves.
