'This notice explains to customers why the product is being recalled and tells them what to do if they have bought the product.
'If you have bought the above product, do not eat it.
'Instead, return it to your nearest store for a full refund. For further information contact customer care on customer.care@lidl.co.uk or 0203 966 5566.'

'Customers are asked to return this product to the nearest store where a full refund will be given.
'We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your cooperation.'
If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product).
The FSA issues Product Withdrawal Information Notices and Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food.
In some cases, a 'Food Alert for Action' is issued.
This provides local authorities with details of specific actions to be taken on behalf of consumers.

Sainsbury's & Tesco £850 warning as Aldi named cheapest supermarket
Aldi came out on top with a cost of £131.52, £47.12 less than Waitrose as well as being cheaper than Ocado by £33.99, and less expensive than Sainsbury's by £22.26. That makes it an entire year that Aldi has come out on top against loyalty card prices, beating Sainsbury's Nectar Card prices by £16.77 and Tesco Clubcard prices by £15.17. Over the course of the year, those loyalty card shoppers could have saved more than £850 by switching to Aldi. Which? said: 'Based on our smaller list of products, having a loyalty card would save an average of 0.02% at Lidl, 0.3% at Morrisons, 1.7% at Tesco and 3.7% at Sainsbury's over the month. 'But you'd still save even more money by switching to Aldi. 'The discounts offered by loyalty cards may sound good. But that's only if you can access them. 'Our research has found millions of people can't access loyalty promotions because they're not eligible to join supermarket member schemes due to their age, lack of address or difficulties with digital access. 'We think some supermarkets could do more to ensure certain groups of shoppers, such as those without a smartphone or those who are under 18, can access – or know how they can access – loyalty prices.'

'We are proud to make it an entire year of wins since the loyalty prices were introduced, and vow to keep providing shoppers with the best possible value.' It comes after it was announced food prices have increased by 3.7% from May's 2.8%, while fresh food is 3.2% more expensive than a year ago. Meat prices have been hit by high wholesale prices and more expensive labour costs, and fruit and vegetable prices increased due to the hot, dry weather reducing harvest yields. Overall shop prices were 0.4% higher in June than a year earlier – a significant jump from the decline of 0.1% seen in May, according to the BRC (British Retail Consortium)-NIQ Shop Price Index. Non-food goods remained in deflation at 1.2% cheaper than last June – but up from May's decline of 1.5% – as retailers cut prices, especially on DIY and gardening items. Overall, shop prices have returned to inflation for the first time in almost a year, but many are struggling to make ends meet - particularly those who haven't had a pay rise.
