Company Announcement
ARLINGTON, VA – Lidl US is recalling all lots of their Favorina Chocolate Ladybugs – German-Style Nougat 3.52 oz box UPC 20304492 due to undeclared hazelnut allergen. People who have allergies to hazelnuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume these products.
The products were distributed between 01/28/2026 – 03/11/2026. The product was distributed to all Lidl US store locations in Delaware, District of Columbia, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia.
No illnesses have been reported to date.
The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the product containing tree nuts was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of hazelnuts.

Customers who have questions about this voluntary recall should call the Lidl US Customer Care Hotline at (844) 747-5435 8 am-8 pm ET, Monday – Saturday.
