Overview
- The supplier Fude + Serrahn announced the recall on Wednesday after a quality check found Bacillus cereus in Milbona High Protein Pudding Schoko (200 g) from the batch with MHD 12.09.2026.
- Lidl has removed only that specific batch from sale nationwide in Germany and said other Milbona products and other batches are not affected.
- Customers are told not to eat the pudding and may return the product to any Lidl store for a full refund without a receipt; Lidl has set up a free hotline at 00800 5435 5435 for questions.
- Health authorities cited BfR guidance that B. cereus can cause two types of foodborne illness — rapid vomiting from an emetic toxin and delayed watery diarrhoea from a different toxin — and that infants, young children, pregnant people, seniors and immunocompromised individuals face higher risk.
- The supplier issued an apology and the recall follows past, batch-specific withdrawals for B. cereus contamination, so consumers should monitor for symptoms and seek medical advice if they become ill after consuming the product.
