Standfirst: Lidl is recalling two 200g batches of Crownfield Müsli-Riegel bars because the ingredients are not labelled in English. People with allergies or intolerances to the listed allergens should not eat the affected products.
A food recall Ireland alert has been issued for specific batches of Lidl’s Crownfield Müsli-Riegel bars after the product ingredients were found not to be labelled in English. The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) said the affected products are being recalled by Lidl.
The alert concerns Crownfield Müsli-Riegel Schoko and Crownfield Müsli-Riegel Schoko-Banane, both manufactured in Poland. Consumers should check the product name, batch number and expiry date before eating the bars.
Products included in the recall
| Product | Pack size | Batch number | Expiry date | Declared allergens |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Crownfield Müsli-Riegel Schoko | 200g | 203 | 20/07/2027 | Peanut, milk and cereals containing gluten |
| Crownfield Müsli-Riegel Schoko-Banane | 200g | 206 | 24/07/2027 | Milk and cereals containing gluten |
The alert is listed by the FSAI as Allergy Alert Notification 2026.A26. The country of origin given in the notice is Poland.
Why has the product been recalled?
The ingredients for the affected batches are not labelled in English. This means important allergen information may not be accessible to consumers in Ireland.
According to the FSAI food allergen alert, the Crownfield Müsli-Riegel Schoko batch contains peanut, milk and cereals containing gluten, including wheat, oats and barley. The Crownfield Müsli-Riegel Schoko-Banane batch contains milk and cereals containing gluten, including wheat, oats and barley.
The notice also states that there may be an unintentional presence of rye, nuts, soya, sesame, mustard and lupins. The nuts listed are hazelnuts, almonds, walnuts, cashew nuts, Brazil nuts, pecan nuts, pistachios and macadamia nuts.
This is an allergen labelling issue rather than a statement that every bar is contaminated. However, the missing English information may make the affected batches unsafe for people who are allergic to or intolerant of any of the allergens identified in the official notice.
What consumers should do
Consumers who have an affected bar should not eat it if they have an allergy or intolerance to any of the listed allergens. Check the front and back of the packaging for the exact batch number and expiry date.
- Do not eat Crownfield Müsli-Riegel Schoko, batch 203, expiring 20/07/2027, if you are affected by the listed allergens.
- Do not eat Crownfield Müsli-Riegel Schoko-Banane, batch 206, expiring 24/07/2027, if you are affected by the listed allergens.
- Keep the product separate from other food while deciding what to do with it.
- Follow Lidl’s recall arrangements or contact the store for information about returning the affected product.
The official notice confirms that the affected batches are being recalled by Lidl. It does not state in the supplied alert whether a receipt is required or whether a refund is available, so consumers should ask Lidl directly about return and refund arrangements.
Who may be affected?
The warning applies particularly to people with allergies or intolerances to peanut, milk, cereals containing gluten, nuts, soya, sesame, mustard or lupins. The two products do not have identical allergen information, so consumers should use the correct product and batch details when checking their packaging.
Anyone who has consumed an affected product and is concerned should seek appropriate medical advice. This article does not replace advice from a healthcare professional.
How to check the recalled batch
To identify whether a bar is included in this product recall Ireland alert, compare all three details:
- The exact Crownfield product name.
- The batch number printed on the packaging.
- The expiry date shown on the pack.
Products with a different product name, batch number or expiry date have not been identified in the supplied FSAI notice. Consumers should not assume that every Crownfield bar is affected.
