What is patulin?
Patulin is a mycotoxin, that is to say a substance produced by a microscopic fungus, which can present a health risk in the event of large and repeated consumption over the long term. In these compotes, the patulin level is higher than the regulatory limit, hence the recall procedure.
Lidl stores therefore invite people who have purchased this product to return it to the store for a refund. The contact number is: 0800 900 343. The end of this recall procedure is set for March 21, 2024.
