Gluten and wheat recalls

Food the FDA has recalled for undeclared wheat, barley, rye or malt — and, the one that matters most here, food sold as gluten free that turned out not to be. Every entry is quoted from the FDA's own enforcement report, with a link to the record.

Not seeing your food here does not mean it is safe

This list is the FDA's, and it arrives late by design: a recall is published here once it has been classified, which is usually weeks and sometimes months after it began. It also covers FDA-regulated food only — meat, poultry and egg products are the USDA's and are not in this feed. And a recall only exists because somebody found the problem. Read it as “here is what has been caught”, never as “here is everything that is wrong”.

How to read a recall

The classis the FDA's own severity rating, and it is about the health risk rather than the size of the mistake. Class I means a reasonable probability of serious harm or death — an undeclared allergen in a food somebody reacts to is normally judged that way. Status is where the recall has got to: Ongoing means product is still being retrieved, Completed means the firm has finished, and Terminated means the FDA has closed it. A terminated recall is still worth reading — it tells you a product you buy has been wrong before.

The lot or codeis what actually identifies the affected units. Recalls almost never cover every package a firm has ever made, so a product appearing here does not mean the one in your cupboard is affected. Check the code on the packet against the code in the recall, and when they do not match, or you cannot tell, the manufacturer's customer line is the fastest way to a real answer.

Where this comes from

The openFDA food enforcement API, filtered to reports whose stated reason mentions gluten, wheat, barley, rye, malt, spelt or triticale. Nothing is rewritten on the way through, and no judgement of ours is added to it. The FDA's own note on that data is worth repeating: the records are unvalidated, and they are not a substitute for medical care.
