As of early Tuesday, M&S confirmed that the 500g pots may contain gluten, which is not mentioned on the label. This poses a significant risk for individuals with gluten allergies or coeliac disease.

Point of sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores selling this product. These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought it.
Approximately 1 in 100 people in the UK have coeliac disease, according to research from Coeliac UK. M&S has been advised to contact relevant allergy support organisations regarding this issue.
Customer safety is of paramount importance to Marks & Spencer, and we take food safety extremely seriously, said an M&S spokesperson. They issued an apology for any inconvenience caused by this recall.
Details remain unconfirmed about any additional measures being taken by M&S beyond the recalls and refunds.
Customers are urged to return the product to the store from which it was purchased for a full refund. The barcode number for the affected product is 29308750.
This situation highlights ongoing concerns about food safety and labeling accuracy in retail products. M&S aims to resolve these issues swiftly and effectively.
