Lidl Recalls Chocolate Ladybugs Over Undeclared Hazelnut Allergen

Lidl US is recalling all lots of Favorina Chocolate Ladybugs after discovering the product contains hazelnuts not listed on the label. The German-style nougat chocolates were sold in nine states and Washington, D.C.

The FDA announced the recall on March 12. Though no illnesses have been reported, the undeclared allergen poses a risk of serious or life-threatening reactions for individuals with tree nut allergies.

The affected 3.52-ounce boxes carry UPC 20304492 and were distributed from January 28 to March 11, 2026. States impacted include Delaware, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia, and the District of Columbia.

Lidl urges customers to return the product immediately to any Lidl store for a full refund-no receipt required. Questions can be directed to Lidl’s Customer Care Hotline at (844)-747-5435.
