, , and have issued an urgent recall over two products that could cause abdominal pain, headaches, and brain fog. Shoppers who bought Myprotein Gooey Filled Cookie Double Chocolate & Caramel have been warned about potential health risks.
Two sizes of the product have an undeclared wheat protein, which could pose a risk to those with wheat or gluten 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.
They have the best before dates June 17, 2025, and July 16, 2026. All batch codes are being recalled, with the barcode 505610458721.
The 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 health risk to anyone with coeliac disease or an allergy or intolerance to wheat or gluten.
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.
