If you’ve purchased this product and you have a intolerance to wheat, you should return the product for a full refund
A popular protein snack that is sold in supermarkets including Tesco, Asda and Iceland has been recalled over fears it could trigger allergic reactions.
MyProtein has pulled some packs of its double chocolate and caramel gooey filled cookies as they contain wheat which is not mentioned on the label.
This means the product is a possible health risk for 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.
The cookies come in single packs of 75g for a single cookie, or packs of 12 cookies. THG Nutrition Limited, which manufactures the product, said the recall affects best before dates between June 17, 2025 to July 16, 2026.
If you’ve purchased this product and you have a intolerance to wheat, you should return the product for a full refund. If you purchased it online, you should contact MyProtein for a refund.
In a recall notice published online, the company 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.”
It continued: “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.”

You should also notice recall notices in stores if they’ve pulled a product from shelves. Other recall notices you should be aware of include Grape Tree pulling its Raw Unsalted Macadamia Nuts because Shiga toxin-producing E.coli was found.
The product that has been recalled has the batch code G41 5 101 250610 and a best before date of July 11, 2026. The pack size is 250g. E.coli infections can cause diarrhea, stomach cramps, vomiting, and fever.
