Fans of end-of-year festivities should pay particular attention to three models of Advent calendars offered at Lidl since November. These products are the subject of a recall for quality reasons, after changes to the organoleptic characteristics of the chocolate they contain were noted.
An important product recall alert has been issued regarding three models of Advent calendars sold at Lidl between November 4, 2024 and December 6, 2024. These products, distributed in many stores across France, are likely to present organoleptic modifications, mainly affecting the taste of the chocolate included. In this context, consumers are strongly advised not to consume chocolate from these calendars.
Identification of recalled products
The calendars concerned come from the Millano company and can be identified using the GTIN number 5900847005785. They do not bear any specific commercial brand but were only available in Lidl stores during the specified period. This recall specifically concerns three Advent calendar references, all batches concerned being affected by this preventive measure.
Reasons for the recall and instructions for consumers
