A batch of chocolate sold in Lidl stores in Ireland has been urgently recalled due to the possible presence of plastic pieces.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has requested that retailers remove the implicated batch of Fin Carré White Chocolate from sale and display recall notices at point-of-sale in Lidl stores.
Consumers are also advised not to eat the implicated batch of chocolate, which originated in Germany, and are being requested by Lidl to return the product to the store where it was purchased with or without a receipt.
