Lidl US has issued a recall for one of its products. According to the New York Post, the company stated that its Favorina Chocolate Ladybugs contain an undeclared hazelnut allergen.
If those with a hazelnut allergy consume the product, a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction could occur.
What Are the Details Surrounding This Chocolate Candy Recall?
The recall is for Favorina Chocolate Ladybugs - German-Style Nougat 3.52 oz boxes with UPC 20304492.
The products were shipped between Jan. 28, 2026, and March 11, 2026. They were then distributed to Lidl stores in Delaware, the District of Columbia, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia.
The grocery store chain initiated the recall after it discovered that the chocolate products did not disclose the presence of hazelnuts on the packaging.
Customers who possess the affected products are advised not to consume them. Products may be returned to any Lidl store for a full refund. No receipt is necessary.

Lidl is a German discount grocery chain seen as a direct competitor to Aldi. It opened its first stores in the United States in 2017 in Virginia. Over the last several years, it has expanded across the East Coast.
About 80% of the products sold at Lidl are private label, which keeps prices low. It also has a "bring your own bag" policy, which is another way the chain keeps costs down while reducing waste. Products are also stored in the boxes they arrive in to save time restocking.
