All that food wasted for something that could be fixed within the confines of the internet.

Lidl returns it's food to the distribution centres to be turned into energy. It's wasteful but it's not just in the dumpster out back.

How many people are actually returning this product though? Nobody is going to any effort to return a product that costs so little.
And everything I've read about this recall makes the reason clear so I can't see anyone opting not to just consume it - which more than likely they already did immediately on purchase.
We have 3 packets left in the house. I’m not taking them back.
It’s not like it’s a QR code that someone could scan by accident, and my son doesn’t exactly care what the small print says on his food’s packaging.
The product they're throwing out isn't stuff that's been returned, it's every affected product they have in stock, which could be loads. Not even donated. Just tossed out.

This cannot "easily be fixed remotely". The domain was scooped up by a company that pretty much exists to extort other companies.
I don't know if this is an actual lidl url, a third party, or something that was supposed to be handled by their PR company. But these are not "Hey, we forgot to renew it. Can we just give you the thirty bucks and get it back?". it is more "So... you want how many tens of thousands of dollars to give this back?"
And they would also figure out WHY lidl/whoever wants the URL back and raise the price even more to avoid people like you complaining that this "can be easily fixed remotely".
I agree, however, the domain had apparently expired (according to the article), which makes it a great deal harder to fix reasonably fast. I still think issuing a statement that they'd lost control of the domain would suffice, but no, apparently wasting food is better for the bottom line.
