Supermarket yoghurt recalled over undeclared warning

Marks & Spencer is recalling a popular Greek yoghurt due to an undeclared allergy warning.

The supermarket chain has warned that certain pots of its authentic Greek yogurt with vanilla may contain gluten, which is not mentioned on the label.

The error could pose a health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to gluten or have coeliac disease.

Customers with an allergy or an intolerance to gluten, or coeliac disease, have been urged by the Food Standards Authority not to eat the product and instead return it to a M&S store for a refund.

Only pots of the 500g authentic Greek yoghurt with vanilla with the used by date 12 May 2026 are affected by the recall.

In addition to point of sale notices, M&S has also contacted the relevant allergy support organisations which will tell their members about the recall.

In the recall notice M&S apologised to customers for any inconvenience.

M&S said: “Customer safety is of paramount importance to Marks & Spencer, and we take food safety extremely seriously.

“In the abundance of caution Marks & Spencer is recalling Authentic Greek Yogurt with Vanilla-500g due to the possible presence of undeclared gluten in a small number of packs.”

About one in 100 people have coeliac disease. The serious autoimmune condition affects how the body’s immune system reacts to gluten.

Coeliac disease causes the immune system to attack and damage the lining of the gut (villi), the place where food and nutrients are absorbed.

Unlike an allergy or intolerance to gluten the only treatment for coeliac disease is a strict gluten free diet for life, according to Coeliac UK.

Symptoms can include feeling tired all the time, headaches, skin rashes, diarrhoea and constipation, unexplained weight loss, persistent mouth ulcers and a lack of absorption of vitamins and minerals like iron, B12 and folate.
