What to do now
Simply Roasted and Salted Cashews has been recalled because of possible glass fragments. Do not try to sieve or check the product yourself.
- Do not eat it and do not try to pick out or strain any fragments.
- Wrap it so that nobody can cut themselves on it in the bin.
- 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. A foreign body such as glass can cut the mouth, throat or gut. Because fragments are often small and clear, inspecting the food is not a reliable test.
