Urgent ‘do not eat’ warning issued over popular snack

THE PRODUCT IS BEING RECALLED DUE TO POSSIBLE HEALTH RISKS 13:38, 23 May 2025 Shoppers have been warned to not eat a popular protein snack that is sold in supermarkets including Tesco, Asda

and Iceland due to concerns that it could pose a health risk. Some packets of the Myprotein double chocolate and caramel gooey filled cookies have been pulled as they contain wheat, which is

not mentioned on the label. The product has therefore been pulled over concerns that the snack could pose a risk to anyone with coeliac disease, or an allergy or intolerance to wheat or

gluten. Coeliac disease is an auto immune condition where sufferers cannot digest gluten. THG Nutrition Limited which manufactures the product, said that the recall affects packets with best

before dates between June 17, 2025 to July 16, 2026. The product comes in pack sizes of 75g single cookies and boxes of 12 cookies. Article continues below Anyone with coeliac disease or an

allergy or intolerance to wheat who has bought the product should return it to the store for a full refund. Anyone who purchased the product online should contact Myprotein for a refund. In

a recall notice published online, THG Nutrition Limited said: “We are recalling Myprotein Gooey Filled Cookie, Double Chocolate & Caramel due to the presence of undeclared Wheat Protein

in an ingredient supplied for the manufacture of this cookie. “If you have bought Myprotein Gooey Filled Cookie, Double Chocolate & Caramel as detailed above, do not eat it if you have

an allergy to wheat.” In a separate statement, Myprotein said: "Out of an abundance of caution, we’re voluntarily recalling the double chocolate and caramel gooey filled cookie, due to

the presence of an undeclared allergen, wheat. "If you purchased the product from one of our retail partners, please return the product or bring your receipt to the point of purchase or

local store for a full refund. "It’s important to note that only a very small portion of Myprotein products are produced externally. The vast majority of Myprotein products are made

in-house at our own state-of-the-art facilities. "This ensures full control over quality and safety across our product range. Your safety is our top priority, and we’re working closely

with our manufacturing partner to understand how this happened and to make sure it doesn’t happen again." Recall notices should also be seen in stores. Other recent recall notices you

should be aware of include Grape Tree pulling its Raw Unsalted Macadamia Nuts because Shiga toxin-producing E.coli was found in the product. If you are worried about the recall, you can
