“If you have bought the above product and have an allergy or an intolerance to gluten or have coeliac disease, do not eat it,” warned the Food Standards Agency.
M&S has recalled its Authentic Greek Yoghurt with Vanilla due to allergy concerns. The recall is significant as the product may contain gluten, which is not mentioned on the label.
This issue affects 500g pots of yoghurt with a use-by date of May 12, 2026. Customers with gluten allergies or coeliac disease are strongly advised against consuming this product.
As of midday, M&S is offering full refunds to affected customers. They have also stated that point-of-sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores selling the product.
The barcode number for the affected product is 29308750. Only this specific batch is impacted; no other M&S products are affected by this recall.
Research from Coeliac UK indicates that approximately 1 in 100 people in the UK have coeliac disease. This makes the recall particularly urgent for those individuals.
“Customer safety is of paramount importance to Marks & Spencer, and we take food safety extremely seriously,” M&S added in their statement.
These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought it. Still, details remain unconfirmed regarding how many units were sold prior to the recall.
Customers are advised to return the product to the store from where it was bought for a full refund. M&S has been advised to contact relevant allergy support organisations regarding this situation.
The Food Standards Agency has issued a “do not eat” alert for the product. This recall highlights ongoing concerns about food labeling and consumer safety.
