This poses a potential risk to individuals with barley or gluten allergies or intolerances.
The affected products have a best before date of June 2 2025.
Shoppers who bought the affected products and have an allergy to barley must not eat them.
Anyone with the product should return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund.
Customers do not need proof of receipt.
A barley allergy occurs when the immune system mistakenly identifies proteins in barley as harmful – triggering an allergic reaction.
Barley contains gluten so it can affect those with Coeliac disease.
Coeliac disease is a condition where your attacks your own tissue when you eat gluten.
Symptoms might include diarrhoea, bloating, stomach cramps and constipation.
But there are also lesser-known symptoms including extreme fatigue, persistent mouth ulcers, subfertility and unexplained anaemia.
Some experience recurrent miscarriage and even unexplained neurological symptoms such as ataxia, which affects balance and speech.
Around one in 100 people in the UK are thought to have coeliac disease, an autoimmune condition triggered by gluten intolerance, while others have a lower level of sensitivity.
It comes after Tesco, Asda, and Argos urgently recalled a popular kitchen gadget.
Nutribullet has issued a recall notice for its GO NBG-100 Rechargeable Blender.
This portable device is a rechargeable blender that has been described as ‘ ideal for those on the go,’ by Asda.
The kitchenware item has also been sold at a number of huge retailers as Tesco and Argos have the item listed on their site.
It is powered by lithium-ion batteries and has been sold in a number of different colours, including black, white, red and grey.
However, it has been confirmed that the device’s batteries may overheat while charging.
As such, it presents a fire risk, according to the Government’s Office for Product Safety and Standards.
Your product recall rights
Chief consumer reporter James Flanders reveals all you need to know.
Product recalls are an important means of protecting consumers from dangerous goods.
As a general rule, if a recall involves a branded product, the manufacturer would usually have lead responsibility for the recall action.
But it’s often left up to supermarkets to notify customers when products could put them at risk.
If you are concerned about the safety of a product you own, always check the manufacturer’s website to see if a safety notice has been issued.
When it comes to appliances, rather than just food items, the onus is usually on you – the customer – to register the appliance with the manufacturer as if you don’t there is no way of contacting you to tell you about a fault.
If you become aware that an item you own has been recalled or has any safety noticed issued against it, make sure you follow the instructions given to you by the manufacturer.
They should usually provide you with more information and a contact number on its safety notice.
In some cases, the manufacturer might ask you to return the item for a full refund or arrange for the faulty product to be collected.
You should not be charged for any recall work – such as a repair, replacement or collection of the recalled item
