An urgent safety warning has been issued to Home Bargains shoppers after a popular health product was found to contain levels of caffeine which could kill. The discount store recalled the Sci-Mx Nutrition Ultra Muscle Strawberry Flavour last week warning it was unsafe to consume.
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.
"Home Bargains has recalled 1.5 kg bags of Sci-Mx Nutrition Ultra Muscle Strawberry Flavour, with a best before date of March 2025. Testing of the product found that it contained over 5000 mg (5 g) of caffeine per serving.
