M&S Greek Yoghurt Recall: Urgent Allergy Warning Issued
If you have bought the above product and have an allergy or an intolerance to gluten or have coeliac disease, do not eat it. This urgent warning comes from the Food Standards Agency regarding Marks & Spencer’s (M&S) Authentic Greek Yoghurt with Vanilla. The recall is a response to potential gluten contamination that is not indicated on the label.
The affected product is sold in 500g pots, specifically those with a use-by date of May 12, 2026. This means that consumers who purchased this yogurt should check their refrigerators immediately. M&S has confirmed that approximately 1 in 100 people in the UK have coeliac disease, making this recall particularly significant.
M&S is offering full refunds to all customers who may have purchased the affected product. “Customer safety is of paramount importance to Marks & Spencer, and we take food safety extremely seriously,” stated an M&S representative.
Point of sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores selling the yogurt. These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought it. Customers are encouraged to return the product to the store from which it was purchased for a full refund.
The Food Standards Agency has also advised M&S to contact relevant allergy support organisations regarding this recall. This proactive measure aims to ensure that those at risk are informed quickly and accurately.
Only the specified date codes of this product are impacted; no other M&S products are affected by this recall. However, details remain unconfirmed about whether any adverse reactions have been reported.
As of now, M&S has issued an apology for any inconvenience caused by this situation. The company is committed to maintaining high standards of food safety and transparency.
For consumers with gluten allergies or coeliac disease, vigilance is crucial during such recalls. It’s essential to stay informed about potential risks associated with food products.
