Tesco, Asda, Morrisons and Boots urgently recall two products over health fears
The Food Standards Agency has issued a warning to customers who have purchased Myprotein Gooey Filled Cookie Double Chocolate and Caramel, as the product could cause abdominal discomfort, headaches, and brain fog Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, and Boots are urgently recalling two Myprotein Gooey Filled Cookie products due to health risk concerns after it was found they could cause abdominal discomfort, headaches, and brain fog. The companies have warned customers about possible health risks linked to the Myprotein Gooey Filled Cookie Double Chocolate and Caramel that may contain an undeclared wheat protein harmful to those with allergies or intolerances and coeliac disease sufferers. Issuing guidance, the Food Standards Agency stated: "If you have bought the above product and have coeliac disease, and/or an allergy or intolerance to wheat or gluten, do not eat it. "Instead return it to the store from where it was purchased for a full refund." The affected products include both the 75g single cookie and the box of 12 x 75g of Myprotein Gooey Filled Cookie - Double Chocolate and Caramel. These bear best before dates of June 17, 2025, and July 16, 2026, with all batch codes involved in the recall—identifiable by barcode 505610458721, reports Bristol Live. According to a report by the Express, the issue arose from an ingredient containing undisclosed wheat protein used in manufacturing the cookies, leading to potential health threats for individuals with certain dietary restrictions. This labelling mistake raises serious health concerns especially for the estimated half a million UK residents living with coeliac disease, an autoimmune condition that is exacerbated by gluten consumption. In rare cases, allergies to wheat or gluten can trigger a potentially deadly reaction, with symptoms usually beginning within minutes of eating the food. THG Nutrition Limited, the maker of the product, has contacted relevant allergy support groups to inform their members.

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.

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.
