Lidl Dubai Style Pistachio Ice Cream Recalled Over Undeclared Cashew

Lidl Northern Ireland is recalling 1001 Delights Dubai Style Pistachio Ice Cream. Cashew nuts have been found in the product without being declared on the label, creating a risk for people with a cashew allergy.

What’s Affected

• Product: 1001 Delights Dubai Style Pistachio Ice Cream
• Pack size: 300g
• Best before: 8 December 2027
• Area covered: Northern Ireland

What You Should Do

The FSA advises customers not to eat the affected ice cream and to return it to the shop where it was bought for a full refund. Check the freezer for the listed best-before date.

A Pistachio Name Does Not Identify Every Nut

The allergen highlighted in this notice is cashew, even though the product is sold as pistachio ice cream. Someone who can eat pistachios but needs to avoid cashews cannot make that decision from the flavour name. The FSA says cashew is present without being declared on the label.

The government’s allergen guide lists nuts among the allergens that must be identified in ingredient information. This recall supplies information missing from the affected packaging.

Why Freezer Stocks Matter

The best-before date is in December 2027, so the affected 300g product may be kept long after the July announcement. Check the date on tubs in the freezer before serving them, including any already opened. The alert concerns Lidl Northern Ireland; use those details when checking a purchase rather than extending the notice to every pistachio ice cream. If you bought the tub for someone else, pass them the recall link and date.
