From the FSAI:

“Gluten was detected in a batch of barleygrass powder, labelled as gluten-free, above the level permitted for a gluten-free product.

“Nutrisure Ltd. is recalling the implicated batch, as it may be unsafe for consumers who are allergic to or intolerant of gluten.”

According to Naturya’s website, the product “has more than a third of your recommended intake of iron” and can be added to fruit juices, smoothies and hot meals.

The batch affected is labelled 502501 and has a best before date of March 2017.
