Gummies Pregnancy Vitamins orange flavour are being recalled - Sku code 769165.

They said on their website: "We've voluntarily taken this decision because whilst this product is safe to use and meets the EU and UK regulations which recommends a 200mcg daily allowance of folic acid, we recognise that NHS guidance goes further than the legal requirement and recommends a 400mcg folic acid daily supplement to be taken before pregnancy until 12 weeks pregnant."
