Lidl recalls vegan yogurt over hidden milk allergen risk

A vegan yogurt alternative sold at Lidl has been recalled over fears it may contain milk. The product, Vemondo Soja Classic (no added sugar), was pulled from shelves due to a production error. Customers with a milk allergy are advised not to consume it.

The recall was issued by N+G Frischprodukten Vertriebs-GmbH, the manufacturer of the yogurt. A mistake in production could have led to traces of milk ending up in the vegan product. While safe for most people, the undeclared allergen poses a risk to those with a milk allergy.

The affected item comes in a 500-gram container and carries a best-before date of March 24, 2026. Shoppers who bought it can return the yogurt to any Lidl store for a full refund. No receipt is needed for the return.

No official statements from German health authorities or consumer protection groups have been recorded since the product recall. Only the return process and safety warning have been documented so far.

The product recall applies only to the Vemondo Soja Classic (no added sugar) with the specified best-before date. Those without a milk allergy can still safely consume the product. Affected customers are encouraged to return it to Lidl for a refund.
