What happened
A food recall has been issued for a variety of products containing undeclared gluten allergens, such as wheat, barley, and oats, which can pose a high risk to individuals with coeliac disease.
If you have coeliac disease or gluten intolerance and are unsure whether a specific product contains gluten, it is particularly concerning that the FDA has taken fewer than 20 recalls for undeclared barley and rye combined, while over 1,000 enforcement actions have been taken for products containing undeclared wheat.
