Lidl US has voluntarily recalled a single lot of its Gelatelli coffee and vanilla gelato with coffee sauce and cookie pieces after a lab test detected Listeria monocytogenes. The company announced the recall on October 16, and on November 3 the FDA classified it as Class 1, its most serious category.
The affected product is the 16 oz pint, lot 085261, best-by March 26, 2028, UPC 4 056489 722458. A total of 1,122 units were distributed, and they were sold at Lidl stores in New York State, including those in New York City, from July 19 through October 15. No illnesses had been reported when the recall was announced.
Anyone holding a pint from this lot should not eat it or let it thaw. It can be returned to any Lidl store for a full refund, no receipt required, or thrown away. Lidl's customer care line is 844-747-5435.
Listeria can survive and grow at refrigerator and freezer temperatures, so a pint sitting in the back of a home freezer still counts. The lot number and best-by date are printed on the container, which makes a match straightforward.
Lidl's recall page lists several other notices this year, including Eridanous shortbread cookies and Vitasia wok spice mix. This recall covers only the one Gelatelli lot; other Gelatelli flavors and lots are not part of it.
