Details emerged in a breaking report by the FDA Wednesday. Hopefully consumers could still surmise that the product held caution for some.
More Than 35,000 Containers of Frozen Vegetables Have Been Recalled in 9 States and Washington, D.C.
Published on Jan. 29, 2025
More than a month after the original report broke, the Lays Potato Chip recall is still getting buzz. That recall occurred at the height of the holiday season because it was discovered that lots of Lays shipped to Washington and Oregon inadvertently wound up with milk in the batch.
A similar issue has led to another milk-related recall—this time involving Lidl-brand frozen vegetable blends containing carrots, peas, cauliflower and corn. The Lidl product name on the package is Buttered Vegetables, but in a Wednesday report, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) points out that the product reportedly contains “undelared milk”, or as they further explain: “During an FDA investigation the manufacturer was notified that the label does not list the allergen milk in the ingredient statement.” Ingredients on the package include butter, sugar, salt, corn starch, and parsley, while adding that the product may contain wheat—presumably from the corn starch.
Lidl Buttered Vegetables product details are as follows:
- 35,320 10.5-ounce boxes (shipped in cases with 10 units each)
- UPC: 4 056489 122876
- Distributed by Lidl USA, LLC 3500 S. Clark Street, Arlington, VA 22202
The FDA notes that the recall was first initiated on December 20, 2024. Then, on January 23, the FDA categorized this as a Class II recall, which the administration defines as “a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.” Hopefully, most anyone serving vegetables to an individual at risk for a milk allergy would avoid a product labeled “Buttered Vegetables.”
Lidl is a Virginia-headquartered supermarket chain with 150 locations in parts of the East Coast.
