Lidl US Recalls Eridanous Shortbread Cookies Due to Undeclared Wheat, Soy, Milk, and Eggs—Check Your UPC
Food recall alert: Lidl US is recalling Eridanous Shortbread Cookies with Chocolate Truffle Coating & Apricot Filling (11.6 oz / 330 g). The issue is foreign-language packaging that lacked English ingredient, nutrition, and allergen declarations, meaning the cookies may contain undeclared major allergens: wheat, soy, milk, and eggs.
If you (or anyone in your household) has a wheat, soy, milk, or egg allergy, check your package today—and do not taste or “test a small amount.”
What shoppers should check at home
- Product name: Eridanous Shortbread Cookies with Chocolate Truffle Coating & Apricot Filling
- Size: 11.6 oz / 330 g
- UPC: 4056489125839
Why this recall matters (plain-language version)
According to the FDA recall notice, the packaging for this product did not include the expected English ingredient, nutrition, and allergen information. Because of that, the cookies may contain allergens that are not clearly identified for consumers with food allergies.
This matters for families because reactions can occur even when the “wrong” allergen isn’t obvious. With undeclared major allergens (like wheat, soy, milk, and eggs), the safest choice is to avoid eating the affected product.
Where it was sold
The FDA notice lists distribution in the following areas: Delaware, District of Columbia, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia.
What to do now (step-by-step)
- Look for the UPC 4056489125839 on your package.
- Do not eat the cookies if the product matches the recall identifiers.
- Discard the affected cookies, or return them to Lidl for a full refund.
Have there been any illnesses?
The FDA notice states that no illnesses have been reported to date for this recall. Even so, if you have a matching package and you’re managing allergies at home, treat it as a “check-and-remove” situation.
When to get help
If someone with a known allergy ate the cookies and experiences symptoms, contact a healthcare professional. For additional guidance in the U.S., you can also reach Poison Control.
Bottom line: Find the UPC 4056489125839 on Eridanous Shortbread Cookies with Chocolate Truffle Coating & Apricot Filling (11.6 oz / 330 g). If it matches, don’t taste—discard or return for a refund.
