What to do now

Lentil Bites and Chips products contains gluten, but this is not shown correctly on the label. That makes it a possible health risk for anyone who is allergic to or intolerant of gluten.

  1. Anyone who avoids gluten should not eat this product.
  2. Tell anyone else in the household, school bag or lunchbox chain who might reach for it.
  3. You can return it to Aldi for your money back.
  4. Check other packs at home against the details below — the recall only covers the packs listed.

Why it matters. Gluten is found in wheat, rye and barley, and often in oats unless they are labelled gluten-free. It matters for people with coeliac disease as well as those with a wheat allergy.

Symptoms and when to get help

Look out for

  • an itchy, tingling mouth
  • a raised itchy rash (hives)
  • swelling of the lips, face or eyes
  • stomach pain or being sick

Get help urgently

  • swelling of the tongue or throat, difficulty breathing or swallowing, wheezing, feeling faint, or collapse — use an adrenaline auto-injector if you have one and call 999, saying it is anaphylaxis

This is general information based on NHS public guidance, not medical advice. In an emergency call 999. For urgent advice use NHS 111 (NHS 24 on 111 in Scotland) or, in Northern Ireland, your GP or out-of-hours service.

Getting your money back

Recalled food can be returned to the shop it came from for a full refund. Supermarkets and most independent shops do this without a receipt, because the recall applies to the product, not to your purchase.

If you bought it online or on a delivery, contact the retailer through your account or customer services and tell them the product is under an FSA recall.
