Why it was recalled

The FSA's risk statement:

Choking hazard

The product contains carrageenan which can present a choking hazard due to the consistency, solubility, shape and size and manner of consumption of the food. The product can be projected from the cup or capsule in one piece by exerting pressure at the tip and therefore can cause choking hazard.
