Lidl has recalled a couple of products sold in stores as they could be dangerous for customers. Those who have been shopping in stores have been urged to check their cupboards.
A notice from Lidl states: “This is due to the product containing undeclared aspartame, a source of phenylalanine.
“Only individuals suffering from the inherited disorder phenylketonuria (PKU), who are unable to metabolise phenylalanine effectively, are affected.
“For persons not suffering from PKU the product is still suitable for consumption.”
The affected packs have 300 tablets and the best before dates of January and February 2023.
