Chicago, IL – Consumers are being urged to check their pantries after nearly 2 million pounds of sugar were recalled over concerns that some products could contain wheat kernels, creating a potential risk for people with wheat allergies.
According to information provided about the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recall, affected brown and powdered sugar products were distributed in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas. Products were sold under the United, Good & Gather and Crystal Sugar brand names.
The recall covers packages ranging from 2 pound consumer bags to larger 50 pound packages. The concern involves potential wheat kernel contamination.
For people with a wheat allergy, consuming a product containing undeclared wheat could cause an allergic reaction. Consumers should check the exact brand, package information and identifying codes against the FDA recall notice before throwing away food, since not every package of sugar sold under these brands is necessarily included.
Affected products should not be consumed by anyone with a wheat allergy. Consumers can follow instructions provided by the retailer or manufacturer regarding disposal or a possible return and refund.
The recall comes amid several recent food safety actions involving products sold in the United States, reinforcing the importance of checking FDA and U.S. Department of Agriculture recall notices for specific product codes and distribution details.
