What to do now
Alesto Raw Fruit & Nut Bars has been recalled because plastic fragments have been found in some packs.
- Do not eat it, even if you cannot see anything wrong.
- Store it out of children’s reach until it goes back.
- Take it back to Lidl for a full refund, or throw it away if you prefer. You do not usually need a receipt.
- If you froze some or put it into another container, check those portions too.
Why it matters. Hard or sharp plastic can injure the mouth and throat, and small pieces are a choking risk, especially for children.
