Lidl Slovenská republika s.r.o., in cooperation with INCOM d.o.o., has issued a recall for a popular frozen dessert due to a potential safety risk. The company is taking this preventive measure following the possible discovery of a foreign object within the product.
Product Identification and Specifications
The recall was triggered by an internal quality control check. It specifically affects a particular batch of frozen bars that have been available in stores since July 25, 2025.
- Product Name: Peanut Ice Cream Bars (Arašidové zmrzlinové tyčinky)
- Packaging: 6×44 g (total 264 g)

Consumer Guidance and Refund Process
Lidl Slovenská republika has clarified that this recall is limited strictly to the specified product. All other ice cream varieties and batches sold within the network remain safe for consumption.
Consumers who have these bars in their freezers are encouraged to return them to any store for a full reimbursement. For additional information, the company has established a public communication channel via a customer hotline at 0232 441 800.
Context of Previous Quality Findings
This represents not the first time the retailer has faced product quality issues. In April, a check at a branch in Kežmarok revealed unsuitable beef, specifically vacuum-packed “Hovädzia falošná sviečková z pleca” with an expiration date of 16. 4. 2026.
According to the State Veterinary and Food Administration (ŠVPS) SR, the beef sample exhibited repulsive properties upon close inspection, despite the packaging appearing clean and intact. The product was no longer on sale by the time the official inspection occurred because its expiration date had passed.
Potential Next Steps
Given these recurring quality alerts, the company may implement more stringent internal auditing processes for its frozen and meat departments. There is a possibility that regulators could increase the frequency of spot checks at various branches to ensure consumer safety.
