Frozen Nutella Croissants Recalled Over Possible Metal Pieces

June 25, 2026
FSA-PRIN-30-2026

Ferrero UK is recalling frozen Nutella Croissants after a possible metal contamination issue. Two batches of the four-pack are affected, so check both the batch code and the best-before date on any packs in the freezer.

What’s Affected

  • Product: Nutella Croissant
  • Pack size: 4 per pack
Batch codeBest before
L126Z396 May 2027
L127Z397 May 2027

What You Should Do

Do not eat the affected croissants. The FSA advises disposing of them or taking them back to the shop for a full refund. For more information, contact Ferrero UK on 0330 053 8943.

Why Freezer Stock Needs Checking

The affected croissants have May 2027 best-before dates, so a pack bought before the June recall could remain in the freezer for months. Match L126Z39 with 6 May and L127Z39 with 7 May. Those code-and-date pairs identify the recalled four-packs.

If you split the croissants into another container, use any retained label or photograph to identify them. A product stored in the freezer still needs checking against a physical-contamination recall before it is prepared.

Follow the Recall Rather Than Inspecting for Metal

The FSA says the croissants may contain metal and advises customers not to eat them. You do not have to find a fragment to qualify for the recall advice, and the notice offers no method for checking or salvaging a matching pack at home. Keep the code available if you contact Ferrero or the retailer, and tell anyone else who might prepare the croissants about the affected batches.

Read the official FSA notice for the recall details and any further updates.
