Gummy Gainz Protein Candy Recalled Nationwide Over Undeclared Milk Allergen

Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) have issued a national recall of several Gummy Gainz brand Protein Candy products after it was discovered that milk, a known allergen, was not properly declared on the product labels. The recall, originally issued on 2026-07-04 and updated on 2026-07-07, covers multiple flavors and package sizes sold online and in stores across Canada. One reaction has already been reported in connection with the affected products.

What Products Are Being Recalled?

The recall covers a wide range of Gummy Gainz Protein Candy products, including Fruit Salad, Blue Raspberry, Sour Peach (Fuzzy Peach), Green Apple, and Sour Watermelon flavors in 49 g single packs, 6 x 49 g multipacks, 12 x 49 g multipacks, an Assorted 6 Pack, and a 9.8 g ‘The Original Protein Candy’ sample size. Each product is identified by its own UPC code, and the recall applies to all codes where milk is not declared on the label. The full list of affected UPCs is available on the official CFIA recall page.

Why Was This Recall Issued?

The recall was triggered by a consumer complaint. CFIA’s food safety investigation found that the affected Gummy Gainz products contain milk that was not properly declared on the packaging. Because milk is one of the most common food allergens, failing to disclose it puts allergic or sensitive consumers at risk of a serious reaction. The recall has been classified as a Class 1 recall, the most serious category, indicating a reasonable probability that consuming the product will cause serious health consequences or death.

Who Is Affected?

The recalled products were distributed nationally across Canada and sold online. Anyone who has purchased Gummy Gainz brand Protein Candy in any of the listed flavors or sizes may be affected, particularly individuals with a milk allergy or sensitivity. One reaction linked to consumption of these products has already been reported to authorities.

What Should You Do?

Consumers are urged to check whether they have any of the recalled products in their homes. Anyone allergic or sensitive to milk should not consume these products under any circumstances, as doing so may cause a serious or life-threatening reaction. The products should not be served, used, sold, or distributed. Recalled items should either be thrown out or returned to the place of purchase.

Official Statement

CFIA stated that the affected products are being recalled from the marketplace because they contain milk which is improperly declared on the label. The agency also confirmed it is conducting a broader food safety investigation, which may lead to the recall of other products, and is verifying that industry is removing the recalled items from the marketplace.
