The reason for recalling this product
Obviously, there is a reason why these beets were recalled. In fact, the latter contain a chemical contaminant known as perchlorates.
Mostly it is found in soils as well as irrigation water. As a result, it can be present in the foods we consume.
Certainly, this contaminant does not accumulate with the human body. But if consumption is repetitive, it could have a negative effect on your health.
Concretely, this could have a impact on thyroid function. Especially for pregnant women. Likewise, if you suffer from thyroid disorders, you should absolutely avoid this product from Lidl.
If you have it at home, it’s best to get rid of it. You can, for example, throw it in the trash.
Otherwise you can return recalled beets to Lidl. This way, you will then be able to benefit from a refund. And if you have any questions regarding this recall, please do not hesitate to contact on 0800 543 5543.
Please note that the recall procedure will end November 26, 2024. You must therefore act as quickly as possible if you want to be reimbursed.
