Tesco and Asda will offer full refunds without receipts if bring popular snack back after recall
Shoppers have been warned to not eat a popular protein snack that is sold in supermarkets including Tesco, Asda and Iceland. This is due to concerns that it could pose a health risk.
They are offering refunds at stores, even if shoppers don't have a receipt.
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.
Tesco said: "If you've bought an affected product(from Tesco), please don't eat it. Instead, return it to a Tesco store where a full refund or replacement will be given. No receipt is required."
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 and 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 and 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."

Epic fundraiser to say thank you to Dumfries and Galloway's healthcare heroes
Jim McLelland's One Big Thank You is returning to Castle Douglas this weekend as he bids to walk, run and job for 12 hours straight. An epic fundraiser to say thank you to Dumfries and Galloway's healthcare heroes will take place this weekend. Jim McLelland will run, walk and jog round Lochside Park in Castle Douglas for 12 hours straight on Sunday. He'll set off at 6am and there will be fun for all the family from 11am until Jim finishes at 6pm. The 72-year-old from Crossmichael first held his One Big Thank You last year, raising £26,000 in the process to be split between the Alexandra Unit at DGRI and staff support. He said: 'The hospital belongs to all of us. If we do the right things, then the folk there get to see we appreciate what we do. 'We're short of nurses and doctors. Maybe if a doctor has the opportunity of two jobs, they'll look at Dumfries and Galloway and see everyone appreciates the hospital. 'It could be the difference between them coming and going somewhere else. 'I'd like to try to get people to sponsor bits and come on as partners through their businesses to help raise money. 'The folk from the NHS can see they're doing something for them and hopefully use their facilities.' Jim has taken on the challenge in tribute to wife Ruth, who died at DGRI's Alexandra Unit in 2023. Sunday's challenge is just days before she would have turned 68. His first wife Diane, died in the unit at the old hospital in 1994. People are welcome to keep Jim company and there will be a real festival atmosphere in the park. There will be plenty of live music, food and drink as well as bikes, cars and tractors to look at, along with lots of other entertainment. Jim reckons he has put up 300 posters across the region advertising what is happening - and his fame is growing. He said: 'In Gretna there must have been five people who recognised me from last year and when I was in Tesco in Lockerbie people said I'd been on TV. 'When I started, someone said it will take three years for folk to know what you're doing - maybe it will do and I'll have to go again next year.'

48p-a-day supplement 'changed my life' by cutting fatigue and stopping 'bloating'
The award-winning Gut Works supplement is currently on offer for 50% off, and customers said they have seen improvement in digestion and overall gut health wellness Gut health has become a hot topic in recent years for those seeking to enhance their overall wellness. It influences bodily functions and overall well-being, including digestion, immune response, and mental health. However, maintaining it through diet alone can be challenging for many, leading some to consider supplements for additional support. One such product is Gut Works, a daily supplement by Dr Vegan, designed to combat bloating, irregular bowel movements, and fatigue. The supplement boasts a potent formula and costs less than 50p per day. This affordable price is currently available as customers can save 50% on their first order with the brand using a special code. Typically priced at £28.99, applying the code GUT50 at checkout reduces the cost to £14.50, equating to just 48p per day. The code is exclusively for new customers and, while it cannot be combined with other discounts, it does offer substantial savings off the RRP, reported the Mirror. Dr Vegan Gut Works Supplements From £14.50 Dr Vegan Buy Now on Dr Vegan Product Description This award-winning supplement blends Psyllium Husk with six scientifically researched strains of live cultures, also known as 'probiotics', and prebiotics. With 50 billion CFU (colony forming units) packed into a single daily capsule, the supplement provides a significant bacterial boost to the digestive system. Maintaining a healthy gut and bowels is crucial for daily comfort and tackling IBS symptoms such as bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, excessive wind and gas, fatigue, reflux, poor sleep, among others. Gut Works offers a solution in the form of a small, daily delayed-release capsule designed to rebalance and repopulate the gut microbiome with active bacteria. While other supplement brands provide various formulations and bacterial strains, focusing more on specific symptoms and potentially at a higher cost, some individuals find swallowing capsules off-putting. For those seeking a liquid alternative, celebrities like Frankie Bridge and Georgia Toffolo have endorsed Symprove. Retailing at £22.99 for 500ml, it's available in an array of flavours including Pineapple or Strawberry and Raspberry. LookFantastic has slashed the price of MyProtein's Gut Gummies by 48%, bringing them down to £16.99. These chewable tablets offer a handy way to bolster digestive health, packed with one billion live cultures and 40mg of vitamin C. As for Dr Vegan's Gut Works, customer reviews are largely positive, boasting a 4.3-star rating based on over 300 reviews. Customers have reported a variety of benefits, from alleviated IBS symptoms and bloating to weight loss and enhanced mood. One satisfied customer, Joanne, shared: "IBS symptoms and life changed forever. I was advised by my gastroenterologist to look at this kind of product and he said if I took it every day without fail my symptoms would improve. I saw this product and decided to give it a go. He was right. I could not visit friends for dinner, had trouble on holiday and my social life was controlled by my stomach... not any more. Life changing." Conal chimed in: "Excellent product. My stomach feels less bloated and with a change of eating habits, I have started to lose weight. I will continue to take Gut Works from now on." Sheila also reported weight loss, stating: "I'm very impressed. My bloating has stopped/disappeared and I've lost 4lb." "Gut works is quite simply magic," wrote another thrilled user. "I had been suffering with IBS and tummy issues for years. Gut works has really changed my life. I didn't think anything could help me but Gut Works has. Thank you Dr Vegan." However, some users found the product less effective. It's crucial to bear in mind that gut health varies from person to person, and what proves miraculous for one might not yield the same results for another. One user expressed: "Didn't work for me. Easy tablet to swallow though and I liked that it was once a day. And, I've just received a lovely note from the company and they have refunded me." Another added: "Used this for 30 days. I'm not sure I noticed much change in my digestion or bloating. I was disappointed." However, the majority of customers have expressed their satisfaction. Another glowing five-star review stated: "Since taking Gut Works my tummy is so much better. Flatter and my trousers fit. I really haven't changed my diet, so it's all down to gut works." Customers can give the Gut Works supplements a go here and utilise the code GUT50 for a 50% discount on their initial order with Dr Vegan.

Anyone who drinks wine issued 'don't do it' warning this summer
Supermarket giant Tesco has issued advice for wine drinkers after it emerged that Brits are throwing away 624 million bottles of wine every year - here's what you need to do Tesco, the retail giant, has sounded an alarm for wine buyers. Echoing the well-known guidance to limit alcohol intake to no more than 14 units a week, Tesco has pointed out another thing to remember. For those who are conscious of their alcohol consumption - and there are many good reasons to be - it's possible that a bottle of red, white or rosé might not be finished in one sitting. To put things into perspective, a standard bottle of wine typically holds about nine to 10 units of alcohol. However, if you don't intend to finish off the bottle within a few days, the thought of pouring it down the sink can feel like a terrible waste. While it may come as a surprise to some, wine can be frozen, but Tesco has issued a clear alert: "Don't freeze in the bottle," they warn. Instead, Tesco suggests that leftover wine from an opened bottle can be safely stored in ice cube trays. For those with a larger quantity of wine left, Tesco recommends using a freezer bag as an alternative storage solution, reports the Express. What to do with frozen wine Leftover red wine could be added to Bolognese "for depth of flavour" whereas white wine could be added to risottos. Why cutting down on wine is good for you The NHS highlighted the short and long-term benefits of drinking less alcohol In the short-term, drinking less alcohol can make you: Feel better in the mornings Feel less tired and more energetic Have better-looking skin Save money In the long-term, reducing how much alcohol you drink can lead to: Lower blood pressure Lower risk of stroke, hypertension, cancer and liver disease Lower cholesterol levels better mood, memory and quality of sleep And help with weight management Anybody struggling to cut down on how much they are drinking can seek support from Alcohol Change UK.
