Lidl recalls cheddar cheese over fears it contains plastic pieces
LIDL is recalling certain blocks of cheddar cheese over concerns they may contain pieces of plastic making it unsafe to eat.
Affected blocks are 900g packs of "Simply Mature White Cheddar" with a best before date of December 26, 2020.
These were sold in Lidl stores nationwide, barring those in south Wales, for £3.99.
Other blocks of the same cheddar with different best before dates are not affected, and neither are other products in Lidl's "Simply" range.
If you've bought an affected block of cheese you should not to eat it.
Instead, return it to a Lidl store for a full refund, with or without a receipt.
A Lidl spokesperson said: "Food safety is of the utmost importance to us, and we would like to reassure our customers that Lidl only works with reputable, accredited suppliers, who have strict controls and procedures in place to ensure that our products meet the high standards expected by both ourselves and our customers.
"We are in close communication with our cheese supplier, together carrying out a thorough investigation on this particular case."
Lidl launched a new loyalty app for the first time last month, which gives you discounts on food, Sky bills and cinema tickets.
It's also giving away free Halloween doughnuts to members of the scheme.
But shoppers have complained that a glitch with the new app has stopped them getting £5 discount.
