The Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (AESAN), has issued a warning about the potential presence of metal fragments in several batches of chocolate cookies sold in Aldi and Lidl supermarkets.
Specifically, the affected products are 'Cookies Aux Trois Chocolats' from the Arizona brand, sold at Aldi, and 'Grandino triple chocolate' from the McEnnedy brand, and 'Nougatelli' from the Sondey brand, both available at Lidl.
AESAN became aware of the issue through the European Food Safety Authority's Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF), following an alert from the health authorities in the Netherlands, and is advising anyone who has these products at home not to eat them.
The affected batches of cookies:
The affected cookies sold by Aldi are 'Cookies Aux Trois Chocolats' from Arizona, packaged in plastic, with batch number 2334710 and a consumption date of 11/09/2024.
Meanwhile, those from Lidl include 'Nougatelli' from McEnnedy in plastic packaging with batch number 2059315 and a consumption date of 10/12/2024, and 'Grandino triple chocolate' from the Sondey brand in plastic packaging, with batch number 20706999 and a consumption date of 12/12/2024.
The initial distribution took place through Aldi and Lidl stores in Andalusia, Catalonia, the Canary Islands, Valencia, Madrid, Murcia, Galicia, and the Basque Country. However, the possibility of redistribution to stores in other regions is not ruled out.
