Two batches of its Excellence Dark Extra Fine Shell Egg and Lindor Strawberries and Cream Shell Egg ranges are being recalled from stores across the country after they failed to mention the presence of barley, which poses a risk to people with an allergy.
The Food Standards Agency has warned that anyone with an allergy to barley not to eat these products.
The affected ranges are the Lindt Excellence Dark Extra Fine Shell Egg, 220g, with a best before dat of October 2017 and Lindor Strawberry & Cream Shell Egg, 285g, with a best before date of July 2017.
A Food Standards Agency spokesman has said: “If you have bought any of the above products and have an allergy to barley, do not eat them.
“Instead return them to the store form where they were bought for a full refund.”

A spokeswoman told Mirror online that as a result of an error during the co-packing process, certain Lindt shell eggs were placed int he incorrect packaging.
