Home Bargains extends 'do not eat' warning to customers over potentially fatal product

Food safety chiefs have warned Home Bargains shoppers to watch out for more potentially lethal batches of a health product. The Food Standards Agency had already advised customers that a batch of the Sci-Mx Nutrition Ultra Muscle Strawberry Flavour could contain levels of caffeine which could kill.

Now it has added two more batches of the item to the warning. FSA Head of Incidents, Tina Potter, said: “If you have purchased this product, do not take the risk of consuming it.

"High levels of caffeine can cause anxiety, sleeplessness, agitation, palpitations, diarrhoea and restlessness, and individuals with a mental health condition can experience worsened psychosis. In this case, the exceptionally high levels of caffeine could mean the consequences are even more severe and perhaps even fatal.”
