Flour and baking mixes recalled because of wheat gluten — AI-generated

Six lots of gluten-free flour and baking mixes from GF Blends tested significantly above the FDA's 20 ppm gluten limit, triggering a nationwide recall for undeclared wheat gluten.

The recall covers Truly AIP All Purpose Flour and Bread Mix plus EAT G.A.N.G.S.T.E.R. Flat Bread Pizza Mix. Consumers with celiac disease (an autoimmune reaction to gluten) or severe gluten intolerance face risks of adverse health effects or allergic reactions from these products.

What caused the contamination?

The source is an ingredient, not the finished-goods process. GF Blends manufactured the recalled products using Plantain Flour supplied by PMF Global, which arrived labeled and certified as gluten free. Independent third-party testing confirmed the plantain flour contained gluten. Every recalled lot tested at levels significantly exceeding the FDA's 20 ppm threshold, meaning undeclared wheat gluten in the finished products. GF Blends will run further testing to confirm for wheat gluten specifically.

The company had received no reports of adverse health effects as of Sept. 17, according to the recall notice.

Where were the products sold?

Distribution ran through Sept. 12. Affected products moved via eatgangster.com, trulyaip.com, Amazon.com, and retail and online customers nationwide.

What does this mean for operators?

For operators and retailers stocking allergen-free SKUs (stock-keeping units), the episode is a supplier-verification lesson. A certification on the label did not survive third-party testing at the finished-product stage.

No illnesses had been reported as of the Sept. 17 cutoff. GF Blends says additional testing for wheat gluten is the next step.
