A popular snack solid in Tesco, Asda and Iceland is being recalled(Image: Getty Images)Shoppers have been warned to not eat a popular protein snack that is sold in supermarkets including Tesco, Asda and Iceland due to concerns that it could pose a health risk.
Some packets of the Myprotein double chocolate and caramel gooey filled cookies have been pulled as they contain wheat, which is not mentioned on the label.
The product has therefore been pulled over concerns that the snack could pose a risk to 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.
THG Nutrition Limited which manufactures the product, said that the recall affects packets with best before dates between June 17, 2025 to July 16, 2026.
The product comes in pack sizes of 75g single cookies and boxes of 12 cookies.

Anyone who purchased the product online should contact Myprotein for a refund.
In a recall notice published online, THG Nutrition Limited 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.
“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.
