Poundland and Lidl recall cashews over glass contamination risk

Poundland and Lidl have each recalled cashew nut products sold in the UK after routine checks indicated the packs may contain glass, posing a risk of injury to consumers. The Food Standards Agency issued formal recall notices on Thursday urging shoppers who have bought the affected items not to eat them and to return them to the store for a full refund.

Poundland Dealz is recalling The Tasty Snack Co. Roasted and Salted Cashews in 100 gram packs after the batch was identified as potentially contaminated with glass. The recall applies to packs carrying the product code 934088, batch code 56T 25255, and a best before date of 19 July 2026. The retailer’s notice instructs customers not to consume the product and to return it to any Poundland store for a refund without the need to show proof of purchase. Poundland Dealz said it apologises for the inconvenience and emphasised that consumer safety and product quality are priorities. The retailer has said point of sale notices will be displayed in stores selling the product and that customers with questions can contact its customer relations team or call 0333 234 1877.
