(FreePressBeacon.com) – Sparking concern among millions of Americans, Lidl US has recalled its Taste of Deutschland Buttered Vegetables due to undeclared milk allergens.
See the tweet below!
Sold in nine states, these products risk triggering allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
While Lidl emphasizes consumer safety, this incident exposes ongoing challenges in the nation’s food safety oversight.
The recall affects all lots of the 10.5 oz box with UPC 4 056489 122876, with no reports of illness from these products to date.
The undeclared milk allergen was discovered by the FDA during a routine inspection.
It covers products distributed between October 21, 2023, and December 19, 2024, across Lidl US stores in Delaware, District of Columbia, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia.
To ensure consumer safety, Lidl urges customers to return the affected products to their local stores for a full refund, even if the receipt is missing.
Customers can also contact Lidl US Customer Care Hotline at (844)-747-5435 for further assistance.
Cow’s milk allergies can trigger severe reactions, including anaphylaxis, while milk intolerance leads to digestive discomfort.
Lidl underscores their commitment: “The health and safety of our customers is our top priority,” the company said.
This recall highlights the importance of stringent labeling and food safety standards. As other food recalls indicate issues with E. coli and listeria contamination, consumers must stay vigilant.

The system requires constant attention to minimize risks to public health.
Safety-oriented recalls, like that undertaken by Lidl, serve as a reminder of the quality assurance expected from food suppliers.
The evolving food safety landscape necessitates proactive steps from both regulatory bodies and food companies.
As we address various allergen and contamination challenges, ensuring detailed inspections and precise labeling remains imperative.
Lidl’s recall, while unfortunate, reflects accountability and responsibility, traits critical in maintaining consumer trust.
