Lidl<\/a> has urgently recalled a popular chicken product due to concerns they contain an unlabelled allergen.<\/p>\n

The product, Red Hen 4 Tempura Chicken Steaks, was pulled from shelves because it may contain milk which is not correctly named on the ingredients label.<\/p>\n

If you have bought the product, and have an allergy or intolerance to milk, do not eat it and return it to the nearest Lidl store where a full refund will be given.<\/p>\n

The products affected are the pack size 380g with the best before dates\u00a011\/12\/2026, 16\/12\/2026, 22\/12\/2026, 30\/12\/2026 and 16\/01\/2027.<\/p>\n

In a written statement, allergy charity anaphylaxis UK said they have been informed by the supermarket of the urgent recall<\/a>.<\/p>\n

‘We have been alerted by Lidl that it is recalling its Red Hen 4 Tempura Chicken Steaks from sale because they contain milk which is not correctly declared on the ingredient label,’ it read.<\/p>\n

So, they went on to explain: ‘The product is therefore unsuitable for and should be avoided by anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

When a supermarket is urgently recalling a product that contains an ingredient not named on a label, they often contact allergy charities.<\/p>\n

These charities can help inform the people with the relevant allergies of the product that may put them in danger.<\/p>\n

\"The <\/p>\n

The affected product sold by Lidl is the Red Hen Tempura 4 Chicken Steaks, pack size 380g<\/p>\n

It comes just days after Waitrose recalled <\/a>one of its ready-to-eat snack pots over fears it may be contaminated with salmonella.<\/p>\n

The dangerous bacteria is known to cause food poisoning, which in some cases can prove fatal.<\/p>\n

The item affected was the Waitrose and Partners Egg and Spinach Protein Pot, which comes in a 90g plastic tub and is sold in stores nationwide.<\/p>\n

Two batches were involved in the alert\u2014those with use-by dates of July 31 and August 1, 2025.<\/p>\n

The supermarket has pulled the product from shelves and urged customers who have already bought it to not eat it.<\/p>\n

Instead, they should return it to a store for a full refund, with no receipt necessary.<\/p>\n

Point-of-sale notices have been displayed in affected stores warning shoppers of the risk.\u00a0<\/p>\n

These explain the reason for the recall and what steps customers should take if they have purchased the item.<\/p>\n

\"The <\/p>\n

The urgent recall issued was for the product Waitrose & Partners Egg & Spinach Protein Pot\u00a0<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the Food Standards Agency (FSA), which issued the alert, said: ‘The presence of salmonella in this product poses a risk to human health… and can be particularly dangerous for the elderly, young children, and those with weakened immune systems.’<\/p>\n

Salmonella infection\u2014known as salmonellosis\u2014typically develops within six to 72 hours of consuming contaminated food.<\/p>\n

While many cases are mild and are resolved within a few days without treatment, more severe infections can lead to dehydration, hospitalisation, and in rare cases, death.<\/p>\n

Those with symptoms are advised to rest and drink plenty of fluids.<\/p>\n
