Lidl and Netto customers currently have to be careful when drinking their smoothies.
Mold toxins have been found to cause serious health problems.
Munich – Some smoothies that were offered in Lidl and Netto stores are currently affected by a recall.
The reason for the recall is the same: a mold toxin (Patulin) was discovered, writes the manufacturer.
At Lidl, two smoothies from producers Niederrhein-Gold Tersteegen GmbH and Molkerei Gropper GmbH are affected.
Lidl customers who have purchased the “Solevita Smoothie Red Genius” in the 250 milliliter packaging should note the best-before dates of March 13, 2024 and March 14, 2024.
These are explicitly mentioned in the recall.
The following best-before dates and batch numbers are affected for the smoothie in the 750 milliliter packaging:

Mold poison in smoothies from Lidl and Netto causes recall - consumption is dangerous to health
Netto, the European discounter represented in Germany by Netto ApS & Co. KG, has also announced a recall.
This discounter differs visually from the better-known German Netto Marken-Discount thanks to the dog logo.
The mold toxin could also be present in the discounter’s “Kingsway Smoothie Banana-Grape-Cranberry – Pomegranate-Acai and other fruits”.
However, only the best before date of March 12, 2024 could be affected here.
These products could be affected by the recall.
Customers should pay attention to the best before date and batch number.

The smoothie manufacturer, Molkerei Gropper GmbH & Co. KG, also warns in its recall letter: “Patulin is a substance (mycotoxin) produced by mold that is harmful to health and can lead to nausea, vomiting and indigestion.
Therefore, customers should definitely pay attention to the recall and under no circumstances consume the affected food 'KINGSWAY Banana-Grape-Cranberry-Pomegranate-Acai and other fruits'.”
Discounter customers can return affected items to the respective branches.
For example, Lidl is taking back the smoothies affected by the recall in all Lidl branches.
The purchase price will be refunded even without presentation of the receipt.
