Lidl Czech Republic recall rice over excess lead levels
21 May 2012 - Lidl Czech Republic has initiated a recall for Tiradell boil-in-the-bag rice after tests during an inspection found excess levels of lead.
EC Regulation No 181 sets the threshold for the occurrence of lead at 0.20mg per kg. The collected sample, which was manufactured in Poland, was found to contain 0.51mg/kg.
Supermarket supermarket chain Kaufland issued an identical recall in the country just a few days later.
