Lidl urgently pulls popular protein snack from shelves over 'health risks'
The supermarket has recalled their Cookies & Cream Protein Bars, made by Healthy Fit, across Northern Ireland.
An alert issued by the Food Standards Agency states they contain milk and soya which are not mentioned in English on the label.
It adds: 'This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents and/or an allergy to soya.'
Healthy Fit is recalling the 60g Cookies & Cream Protein Bars with the batch code 002851 and a best before date of January 2026.
Signs will also be displayed in Lidl stores advising customers of the recall and what to do if they have bought them.
The FSA says: 'If you have bought the above product and have an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents and/or an allergy to soya, do not eat it.
'Instead return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund (with or without a receipt).'
Recalls also affected other supermarkets in recent weeks.

Fears for the Full English breakfast as Gen Zs ‘ditching bacon for avocado,' survey shows
Plant-based sausages are also on the rise FULL WHAT? Fears for the Full English breakfast as Gen Zs 'ditching bacon for avocado,' survey shows THE full English is at risk - as Gen Z and millennials are replacing bacon and sausages with healthy alternatives like avocado and spinach. A poll of 2,000 adults found half of Millennials (53 per cent) and Gen Zs (49 per cent) have turned their back on animal products. 2 Almost half of Gen Zs have turned their backs on animal products Credit: Getty With an increase in consumption of ingredients such as avocados, salad leaves, and plant-based sausages compared to five years ago. But the most meteoric rise has been for the humble spinach – with Gen Zs eating 10 per cent more than in 2020. While everyone's favourite – bacon – has dropped by 10 per cent among meat-loving Boomers. A spokesperson for Just Egg, the innovative plant-based egg brand which commissioned the research ahead of its UK launch, said: 'It's clear the traditional breakfast and brunch landscape is being reshaped with the trend towards more plant-based foods. 'With old classics such as bacon and eggs hitting a downtrend – and plant power on the rise. 'But it's clear old favourites like the Full English aren't going anywhere – they're just adapting as our tastes and priorities also evolve.' While it's apparent Brits still love their fry-ups, 62 per cent are now making an active effort to ensure these are healthier. As 35 per cent of the entire population agree they eat more plant-based ingredients as part of their cooked breakfast than they did five years ago. With as many as 41 per cent now at least sometimes swapping out ingredients such as eggs or bacon for something plant-based. 'Did you expect smoked salmon-' Brit slammed for complaining his staggeringly cheap Benidorm fry-up tasted 'low quality' In fact, 38 per cent now dedicate at least half of their plates to plants. A quarter have reduced their animal product intake with a focus on their overall health, 18 per cent admitted animal welfare concerns were driving the change and 15 per cent are motivated to reduce their environmental impact. And an adventurous 14 per cent are changing their ways simply to try new plant-based foods. The most popular ingredients that have been swapped out are sausages (16 per cent) and eggs (10 per cent), according to data. And even if they haven't tried it already, a third confirmed they would be open to trying plant-based egg alternatives in the future. With factors such as doctor and nutritionist recommendations (19 per cent) and concerns about cholesterol (15 per cent) given as the main reasons for considering this. Just Egg's spokesperson added: 'The shift towards plant-based foods is happening for a variety of reasons, including health priorities such as lowering saturated fat and increasing fibre-intake. 'But people are also realising that they don't have to sacrifice on taste – or cut out the Full English fry-up – to eat healthier.'

Urgent recall issued for cookie sold at Target
A major recall has been issued for packs of Favorite Day Bakery Frosted Sugar Cookies sold at Target after fears they could contain pieces of wood. Give and Go pulled the treats on July 22, affecting 803 cases — more than 12,000 cookies — shipped to three distribution centers in Ohio, Connecticut and Maryland. The products, sold in 10-packs with Lot number 251915, were sent to Target stores in 21 states , including New York, Massachusetts, Michigan and Virginia. The Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) said it was a 'Class II' recall — initiated when products could cause temporary or medically reversible health effects. Target has yanked all affected packs from shelves and its website, urging shoppers to toss them or contact customer service for a refund. It's unclear if any consumers reported seeing wood in their cookies. The recall follows a string of food safety scares. Ada Valley Meat Company pulled more than 1,000 pounds of cooked ground beef over fears of metal contamination. Meanwhile, nearly 18,000 tubs of Blue Bunny and Halo Top ice cream were recalled after plastic pieces were found inside. Summer essentials have also been recalled over the last few months. A recall was issued for 192,000 KidKraft Farm to Table play kitchens on July 31 because they are a strangulation risk to kids. Regulators found the product caused the death of a 23-month-old in Oregon two years ago. More than 3.6 million hoses were recalled earlier that month following 222 reports of hoses bursting, causing 29 injuries — including bruises, two sprained bones and five cases of temporary hearing loss. Meanwhile, five million above-ground swimming pools were recalled after a design flaw was linked to nine child drownings.

Along with these summertime essentials, there have been scores of recalls by automakers — including Chrysler, Volkswagen and General Motors. Kia is one of the latest to recall vehicles after the South Korean automaker discovered parts would fly out mid-drive. Blaming it on 'supplier quality issues,' more than 300,000 automobiles were part of the recall.
