TESCO, ASDA, MORRISONS AND MORE SUPERMARKETS HAVE ISSUED AN URGENT RECALL ON TWO OF THE PROTEIN-FILLED PRODUCTS. MATTHEW DOOLEY, HANNA GEISSLER and RACHEL CRONIN Trainee Trends Writer 18:34,

29 May 2025 Various supermarkets in the UK, including Tesco, Asda, Morrisons and Boots have issued an urgent recall over two Myprotein products that could cause some serious symptoms, and

are potentially life threatening. Myprotein's Gooey Filled Cookie Double Chocolate & Caramel snacks have been stripped from shelves as they were found to potentially cause abdominal

pain, headaches, and brain fog. Two sizes of the product contain an undeclared wheat protein, which could pose a risk to those with wheat or gluten allergies or intolerances, including

coeliac disease. A notice issued by the Food Standards Agency said: “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 recall applies to Myprotein Gooey Filled Cookie – Double Chocolate & Caramel in 75g

(Single Cookie) and 12 x 75g (box of 12) packs, reported The Express. The affected batches have the best before dates June 17, 2025, and July 16, 2026. However, all batch codes are being

recalled, with the barcode 505610458721. The recall notice added that the undeclared wheat protein was “in an ingredient supplied for the manufacture of this cookie”. The labelling error

means the cookies could pose a serious health risk to anyone with coeliac disease or an allergy or intolerance to wheat or gluten. Article continues below Around half a million people in the

UK are thought to live with coeliac disease, an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten. In rare cases, allergies to wheat or gluten can trigger a life-threatening reaction with symptoms

often beginning within minutes of eating the food. The product's manufacturer, THG Nutrition Limited, has contacted the relevant allergy support organisations to alert their members.

And these protein products aren't the only thing to have been stripped from supermarket shelves recently. Haribo has also had to recall one of its popular bags of sweets in the

Netherlands. The decision was made after the treats were found to contain traces of cannabis. It was reported today, May 29, that multiple members of one family, alongside several other

people, became unwell after consuming the confectionary giant's 1kg pack of Haribo Happy Cola F!ZZ. The BBC reports that a spokesperson for the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product

Safety Authority (NVWA) said that some of the consumers had reported "dizziness" after eating the sweets. The agency further told the Dutch broadcaster SBS6 that "samples were

taken and cannabis was found in them". Packs affected by the recall are sold only within the Netherlands and feature a best before date of January 2026. According to reports, only

three packs were found to be contaminated, but Haribo has chosen to recall all of its stock as a "precaution." Article continues below It is said to be unclear how many people have

become unwell since eating the sweets, while Dutch media reports that the police were investigating how they managed to be contaminated with traces of cannabis. A further statement has

urged shoppers not to consume the sweets, as the affected packs "can lead to health complaints, such as dizziness, when consumed." JOIN THE DAILY RECORD WHATSAPP COMMUNITY! Get the
