from "an ingredient supplied for the manufacture of this cookie", reports the Express. Article continues below Due to mislabelling, the cookies could be a serious risk to people


with coeliac disease or who have wheat or gluten allergies or intolerances. In the UK, approximately half a million people suffer from coeliac disease, which is an autoimmune condition


initiated by gluten. In uncommon instances, allergies to wheat or gluten can provoke a severe reaction that could be life-threatening, with symptoms typically starting within minutes of


consuming the food. Article continues below The product's maker, THG Nutrition Limited, has reached out to the appropriate allergy support groups to inform their members.
