A chocolate advent calendar sold at Lidl grocery stores as recently as last Monday is under voluntary recall over concerns it may be contaminated with salmonella, the Food and Drug Administration announced this week. Lidl — which operates more than 170 stores across nine East Coast states and Washington, D.C. — says the issue was discovered during routine testing of its 8.4 ounce Favorina-branded advent calendar (premium chocolate with a creamy filling). The affected calendars, sold between October 12 and December 5, have a 2023 “best if used by” date and a barcode number of 4056489516965. The house-shaped packaging features Santa Claus sitting in a gift-loaded sleigh as elves dance around him in front of a mansion.
