Shoppers warned ‘do not eat’ popular item sold at M&S due to recall

Published on

Marks & Spencer (M&S) has issued a recall for a popular dairy product due to concerns that it might contain gluten which has not been declared on its packaging.

The supermarket is recalling its 500g pack of Authentic Greek Yoghurt with Vanilla as it’s “a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to gluten or have coeliac disease”, according to the Food Standards Agency (FSA).

The affected product has a use-by date of May 12, 2026 and barcode number 29308750.

M&S has issued the recall with a “do not consume” warning for anyone with a gluten allergy or intolerance.

It added: “Customer safety is of paramount importance to Marks & Spencer, and we take food safety extremely seriously.”

M&S reassured customers that “only the displayed date codes are impacted” and “no other M&S products are affected.”

The supermarket issued an apology “for any inconvenience caused”.

Food recalls explained

The FSA said: “If you have bought the above product and have an allergy or an intolerance to gluten or have coeliac disease, do not eat it.

“Instead return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund.

“For more information contact Marks & Spencer on 0333301-48555.”

What is a food recall?

The FSA explains what a food recall is: “If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be ‘withdrawn’ (taken off the shelves) or ‘recalled’ (when customers are asked to return the product).
