Home Bargains Recall Ultra Muscle Strawberry Protein Shake Over Dangerous Caffeine Levels
Home Bargains has urgently recalled the Sci-Mx Nutrition Ultra Muscle Strawberry Flavour protein powder. Tests revealed the product contains dangerously high caffeine levels, making it unsafe to consume.
Which Product is Affected?
The recall targets the 1.5kg bags of Sci-Mx Nutrition Ultra Muscle Strawberry Flavour. Look out for batch code W110429 and a best before date of March 2025.
Why You Should Avoid It
High caffeine doses can trigger anxiety, sleeplessness, agitation, palpitations, diarrhoea, and restlessness. For those with mental health issues, symptoms like psychosis might worsen, possibly requiring stronger medication. Caffeine can also reduce how well antipsychotic drugs work.
Children and caffeine-sensitive folks must be cautious. Pregnant and breastfeeding women are advised to keep caffeine under 200mg a day.
What to Do If You Bought It
Home Bargains is displaying recall notices in all stores carrying the product. If you’ve purchased the affected protein powder, stop using it immediately and contact Sci-Mx customer care at [email protected] for a full refund.
