Apparently, the budget supermarket’s Herring Fillets were being sold without warning customers that it contains certain allergens.

These are milk, egg, mustard, gluten – and fish.


According to Food Standards Agency rules, possible allergens must be written, in English, on all food products.

The supermarket is now urging anyone with these allergies to avoid eating the Herring Fillets and to return it to the store to get a refund.

A Lidl spokesman said: ‘We recalled the products because some items, including fish, egg and wheat, were not declared in the ingredients list and can be allergens for some people.’
