Specific Eridanous Cookie UPCs Affected

The recall covers every unit that reached shelves in foreign-language packaging without U.S. allergen labeling:

  • Eridanous Shortbread Cookies with Chocolate Truffle Coating & Apricot Filling — 11.6 oz (UPC 4056489125839)
  • Eridanous Shortbread Cookies with Apricot Filling and Cocoa Topping with Coconut Sprinkles — 11.6 oz (UPC 4056489125846)

Why the Recall Was Expanded

The initial recall addressed one mislabeled variety. A follow-up supplier audit revealed that the coconut-sprinkle variant also shipped in non-compliant packaging. Because FDA regulations require clear allergen labeling, Lidl is voluntarily recalling all affected lots to protect people with food allergies.

What Shoppers Should Do Now

  1. Look for the two UPCs above in your pantry, regardless of best-by date.
  2. If found, and you or someone you serve has any of the listed allergies, do not consume the cookies.
  3. Dispose of the product safely or return it to any Lidl US location for an immediate refund.
