Lidl recalls chicken ready-meal

The recall, which Lidl advises is due to a supplier labelling error, affects all Italiamo Italian Style Chicken Thighs, 450g packages with a use by date of 16 December 2016. The European chain insists no other products from the Italiamo range are affected, nor are packages marked with other use by dates.

Customers who have purchased this product are advised to return it to a Lidl UK store for a full refund.

Lidl launched in the UK in 1994 and has since grown to become a major influencer of British consumer habits along with main competitor Aldi. Lidl has more than 600 units in the UK.
