Boots has issued an urgent recall of Kids Daily Health Multivitamins Strawberry Flavour Gummies over fears it could make children sick. The retailer has been forced to recall them as some gummies were said to have been mistakenly packed with ones that contained soya, meaning they were unsuitable for anyone with a soya allergy.
The inclusion had not been made clear on the packaging, and for those with the allergy it could mean vomiting, stomach cramps, indigestion, diarrhoea and, in severe cases, anaphylaxis. Boots says the gummies will be orange in colour instead of red.
For clarity, the company said that the recalled packs contained 30 gummies, had the batch code 82221103 and best before date of May 17, 2024. Children allergic to soya were being advised not to eat those particular gummies, which retail at £5.
