Major supermarket issues do not eat warning for ‘healthy’ snacks over fears they contain plastic

Lidl has issued an urgent recall for its fruit and nut bars because they may contain pieces of plastic.

Food safety watchdogs stuck a ‘do not eat’ alert on four of the major supermarket’s Alesto Raw Fruit & Nut Bars products.

Cocoa and orange, Blueberry muffin, salted caramel and berry were the flavours which customers have been warned may not be safe to eat.

They come as an assortment of five at 35 grams each, with a best before date of November and December 2025. 

Point of sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores that are selling the healthy snacks.

Customers have been asked to return any of the items purchased to their nearest store for a full refund. 

Lidl have apologised for the inconvenience.
