Lidl U.S. Recalls Macarons For Undeclared Ingredients

Lidl U.S. has issued a recall for its Deluxe branded Macarons Party Edition due to undeclared allergens. According to a notice from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the recall was issued due to undeclared wheat, soy, egg, milk, and tree nuts (almonds, pistachios, and coconut) in the products as a result of non-English ingredient labeling. 

The FDA said individuals who have allergies to any of the aforementioned ingredients run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume these products. Lidl U.S. has received no reports or complaints of illness related to this product to date.

This recall includes units with the brand, “Deluxe,” printed at the top of the front panel, and “Party Edition” at the bottom of the front panel (back panel of package will not have English labeling or ingredients). All units have a barcode/UPC of 4056489365365.

The product was distributed to all Lidl US store locations in Delaware, District of Columbia, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia.

According to Lidl, the issue was internally discovered after delivery to its stores. Shoppers who purchased the product should not consume it and immediately return it to their nearest Lidl store for a full refund (a receipt is not required for return). Customers who have questions about this voluntary recall should call the Lidl U.S. Customer Care Hotline at (844)-747-5435 (8 am-8 pm ET, Monday-Saturday).

“The health and safety of our customers is our top priority,” Lidl said in a statement. “Lidl U.S. regrets any inconvenience related to this voluntary recall. Our Quality Assurance Department is constantly working to ensure that all products on our shelves meet the high-quality standards that we would expect when feeding our own families.”
