Days ago Home Bargains recalled one batch of protein powder Sci-Mx Nutrition Ultra Muscle Strawberry Flavour.

This was due to the product containing high levels of caffeine.

On July 6, 2023, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) shared: “Home Bargains is recalling Sci-Mx Nutrition Ultra Muscle Strawberry Flavour because high levels of caffeine have been found in the product. This makes the product unsafe to consume.”

The Sci-Mx Nutrition Ultra Muscle Strawberry Flavour that was recalled came 1.5kg bags.

The batch code was W110429 and the best before was March 2025.

The FSA’s risk statement read: “High levels of caffeine in the product. Too much caffeine can produce anxiety, sleeplessness, agitation, palpitations, diarrhoea and restlessness.

“Individuals with a mental health condition caffeine can experience worsened psychosis and result in the need for higher amounts of medication.

“Caffeine can reduce how well your antipsychotic medications work.

Children, or other people sensitive to caffeine, should only consume caffeine in moderation. 

“Pregnant and breast-feeding women are advised not to have more than 200mg of caffeine over the course of a day.”

In a customer notice, Home Bargains told customers not to consume the product, urging them to check if they bought the affected batch by writing down the batch code and best before end code for reference at home.

The FSA advised: “If you have bought the above product, please do not consume it. Instead, contact Sci-Mx customer careline at [email protected] and they will arrange a full refund.”

As of July 11, 2023, Home Bargains has recalled an additional two batches, meaning products with the batch codes W110429, W110430 and W110431 must not be consumed.

The FSA included its previous risk statement for the first batch that was recalled but added a crucial warning customers must observe. 

It read: “High levels of caffeine in the product listed above. Some of these products were found to contain levels of caffeine at levels that could be fatal.” [SIC]
