Plastic in the product: manufacturer calls Lidl

The Goldsteig Käsereien Bayerwald warn of foreign bodies in grated Emmental cheese.

It is the product "Milbona Emmental grated, 250g" with the best before dates September 8th and 10th, 2022 and the label "DE BY 301 EG".

The recall was published on Monday on the nationwide portal Lebensmittelwarning.de.

The cheese was sold in Lidl stores in Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Berlin, Brandenburg, Hamburg, Lower Saxony, Rhineland-Palatinate and Schleswig-Holstein.

The packs would be taken back there and the purchase price refunded, even without a receipt, said the cheese dairies from Cham in eastern Bavaria.

"It cannot be ruled out that the affected product contains blue plastic foreign bodies," it said.

Due to the possible risk of injury, customers should never eat the grated cheese.
