Popular protein snack recalled as 'do not eat' alert issued over health risk
A widely-sold protein snack has been urgently recalled amid concerns it could pose a serious health risk to certain customers. The recall, issued last week, affects specific batches of Myprotein Gooey Filled Cookie Double Chocolate and Caramel, which contains an ingredient not listed on the packaging. The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) confirmed that select batches of the cookie, sold in both single 75g packets and boxes of 12, have been found to contain cereals containing gluten - specifically wheat - that is not declared on the label. This could make it dangerous to eat for anyone with with wheat allergies, gluten intolerance or coeliac disease. The affected batches have best before dates ranging from June 17, 2025 to July 16, 2026. Consumers who are allergic to or intolerant of gluten are advised to not eat these products. The FSAI said: "The above batches of Myprotein Gooey Filled Cookie, Double Chocolate and Caramel contain cereals containing gluten (wheat) which is not mentioned on the label. This may make the batches unsafe for consumers who are allergic to or intolerant of gluten, and, therefore, these consumers should not eat the implicated batches. The affected batches have been recalled." Myprotein issued a voluntary recall on May 22, stating that the issue stems from a limited number of batches produced by a third-party manufacturer, which holds the highest food safety accreditation. The company reassured customers that the vast majority of its products are made in-house under strict quality control. A spokesperson said: "Out of an abundance of caution, we're voluntarily recalling the Myprotein Gooey Filled Cookie - Double Chocolate and Caramel 75g (Single Cookie) and 12 x 75g (Box of 12), due to the presence of an undeclared allergen, wheat. This could be a risk to people with a wheat allergy or coeliac disease. "We would like to reassure you that the product was produced, packaged, and labelled by a third-party manufacturer that holds a BRCGS Grade AA accreditation, which is the highest standard in food safety and quality. The issue identified affects a very limited number of batches from this external supplier. It's important to note that only a very small portion of Myprotein products are produced externally. All of these partners meet strict BRCGS accreditation standards. "The vast majority of Myprotein products are made in-house at our own state-of-the-art facilities, which also hold BRCGS Grade AA accreditation. 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." For affected customers who have purchased the recalled cookies, Myprotein has urged them to either return the product to the retailer or contact their customer service team for a full refund. The spokesperson continued: "If you have a wheat allergy/intolerance or coeliac disease, please do not eat this product, and contact our Customer Services using 0800 260 6946 Mon-Fri 8am to 4pm with your details, and we will provide a full refund. "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. "If you have any questions, please contact our Customer Services at 0800 260 6946 Mon-Fri 8am to 4pm." Gluten is a naturally occurring protein found in wheat, barley, rye and related grains. It gives bread its chewy texture and is found in many everyday foods like pasta, cereals and baked goods. For most people, gluten is harmless - but for those with gluten intolerance or coeliac disease, it can lead to unpleasant and sometimes serious health issues. Gluten intolerance still causes unpleasant symptoms, such as: People with gluten intolerance or wheat allergies are strongly advised to avoid eating the recalled cookies.

Major food brand urgently recalls popular snack over health risk as customers warned ‘do not eat'
Customers have been advised to return the item to the store they purchased it from HIGH ALERT Major food brand urgently recalls popular snack over health risk as customers warned 'do not eat' AN URGENT recall has been issued as a popular snack is pulled from the shelves over health risks. Customers have been warned "do no eat" due to wheat, or gluten, not being included on the ingredients label. THG Nutrition Limited is recalling the Myprotein Gooey Filled Cookie, Double Chocolate & Caramel. The product is a possible health risk for anyone with coeliac disease, and/or an allergy or intolerance to wheat or gluten. Shoppers have been warned the 75g packets and the 12 box of 75g packs have been recalled. All batch codes are affected and the best before date to look out for is June 17 2025 to July 16 2026.

For more information, please telephone 0800 260 6946, Monday to Friday from 8am to 4pm or email qualityassurance@ Despite being food-related, coeliac disease is not an allergy or intolerance; it's an autoimmune condition caused by a reaction to gluten. When eaten, the immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues, which damages the gut so the body can't properly take in nutrients. The NHS says this can cause a range of gut symptoms, including: Diarrhoea (which may smell particularly unpleasant) Stomach aches or cramps Bloating Farting Indigestion Constipation Vomiting But symptoms can also be more general. According to Coeliac UK, some people experience: Tiredness (as a result of malnutrition) Unintentional weight loss An itchy rash Infertility Nerve damage Co-ordination, balance and speech problems Mouth ulcers Tooth enamel problems Liver abnormalities Repeated miscarriages Anaemia Any combination of iron, vitamin B12 or folic acid deficiency Because symptoms are vague, they are often dismissed as minor inconveniences.
