Derby people who take food supplements are being warned about a product recall affecting a hugely successful brand.

Both Trading Standards and the Food Standards Agency have flagged up an issue affecting various Renew Life products.

The Food Standards Agency says: "Renew Life UK is recalling five probiotic supplement products because they contain milk protein which is not mentioned on the label. This means the products are a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents."

The products that are being recalled are as follows:

Product: Ultimate Flora Critical Care 50 Billion Pack size: 30 capsules Lot numbers: 74262, 75619, 75905, 76222, 77145, 77155, 77680, 78948, 79094, 79227, 79600, 80383

No other Renew Life UK products are known to be affected.

Renew Life UK is recalling the above products from customers and has contacted the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall. The company has also issued a point-of-sale notice to its customers.

The products aid digestion. For example, according to the makers, Ultimate Flora Critical Care 50 billion "helps to maintain good digestive and overall health while boosting immunity and easing constipation. It is the number one selling probiotic in North America."

If you have bought the above products and have an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents, do not take them. Instead you should call 0800 098 8505 for a refund.
