SCI-MX Nutrition Ultra Whey Protein Powder Shake, 908 g, Strawberry, 20 Servings

Product Information

However the Food Standards Agency has now issued a fresh alert urging consumers to avoid the "potentially lethal" protein powder. It said: "The Food Standards Agency is urging consumers not to consume a recalled protein powder because it contains caffeine at levels that could be fatal. The Food Standards Agency said that 10g of caffeine is lethal to most individuals – doses as low as 3g can be deadly for those with caffeine sensitivity. Home Bargains is recalling a protein powder found to contain potentially lethal levels of caffeine.

As a precautionary measure, Home Bargains took immediate action by removing all of the strawberry flavoured product from sale and implementing preventive measures across its tills to ensure their withdrawal. This action was followed by product recall posters being displayed in all stores. The FSA issues Product Withdrawal Information Notices and Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food. It is correct that we have issued an urgent product recall on the SCI-MX Ultra Muscle Strawberry Flavour 1.5kg (batches: W110429, W110430, W110431), due to excessive caffeine levels posing a potentially serious food safety risk in these specific batches. Please note that this was not a recall for the product generally, only for these specific batches; the product was not designed with the amount of caffeine contained in these specific batches.
