Standfirst: Lidl is recalling specific batches of Crownfield Müsli-Riegel bars because the ingredients are not labelled in English. People with allergies or intolerances should check the batch details and should not eat affected products.
A food recall Ireland alert has been issued for two 200g batches of Lidl’s Crownfield Müsli-Riegel bars. The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) said the products were made in Poland and contain allergens that are not declared in English on the packaging.
The affected batches are being recalled by Lidl. Consumers who are allergic or intolerant to the listed allergens should not eat the products identified below.
Products included in the Lidl recall
| Product | Pack size | Batch number | Expiry date | Allergens identified |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 issue concerns the absence of English ingredient labelling, meaning consumers in Ireland may not have the allergen information needed to identify the product’s contents.
Why the Crownfield bars were recalled
According to the FSAI food recall notice, 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 says there may be an unintentional presence of rye, nuts, soya, sesame, mustard and lupins. The nuts listed in the alert include hazelnuts, almonds, walnuts, cashew nuts, Brazil nuts, pecan nuts, pistachios and macadamia nuts.
This makes the affected batches unsafe for people who are allergic or intolerant to peanut, milk, cereals containing gluten, nuts, soya, sesame, mustard or lupins. The notice does not state that every listed allergen is present in both products, so consumers should check the exact product and batch number.
What consumers should do
- Check whether you have either Crownfield product in a 200g pack.
- Compare the batch number and expiry date with the details in the table.
- Do not eat an affected batch if you have an allergy or intolerance to any of the allergens named in the alert.
- Follow Lidl’s recall instructions for returning the product.
- If you are unsure whether a bar is affected, keep it separate and contact Lidl or the FSAI for clarification.
The official notice confirms that the affected batches are being recalled by Lidl. It does not provide additional receipt or refund details in the supplied alert, so customers should ask Lidl directly about the return and refund process.
How to check whether your product is affected
The batch number and expiry date are key identifiers in this product recall Ireland alert. The Schoko product is affected only where the packaging shows batch 203 and an expiry date of 20/07/2027. The Schoko-Banane product is affected where it shows batch 206 and an expiry date of 24/07/2027.
Products with different names, batch numbers or expiry dates are not identified in this FSAI food alert. Consumers should not assume that every Crownfield muesli bar is included in the recall.
Advice for people with allergies
The undeclared allergen issue is particularly important for people with peanut, milk, gluten-containing cereal, nut, soya, sesame, mustard or lupin allergies or intolerances. Because the ingredients are not labelled in English, affected consumers may be unable to confirm the product’s contents from the packaging.
Anyone who has eaten an affected product and is concerned about a reaction should seek appropriate medical advice. This article cannot assess an individual’s symptoms or provide personal medical guidance.
