Advice from the Food Standards Agency (FSA) states if you have bought the product and have an allergy or intolerance to barley or gluten do not eat it.
Instead customers should call 0800 0686 727, email customer.careline@coop.co.uk or if customers are making an essential trip to the nearest Co-op store, they can return the item in-store for a full refund.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) say the Co-op 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 which explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.
