Which food products were recalled in California? Why?

On Friday, Sept. 18, Washington-based company GF Blends recalled all-purpose flour and gluten-free mixes due to “potential undeclared wheat allergen,” according to the FDA.

“People who have celiac disease or a severe gluten intolerance run the risk of adverse health effects or allergic reactions if they consume these products,” the federal agency said.

GF Blends said the recalled products were made with plantain flour supplied by PMF Global and labeled as “certified gluten free.”

However, independent third-party testing confirmed that the plantain flour contained gluten, the recall notice said.

As of Thursday, Sept. 17, GF Foods said it had not received any reports of “adverse health effects” related to the recalls.
