The Health Store recalls a batch of its own brand Maize Flour Polenta due to an incorrect 'Gluten-Free' declaration
Tuesday 11 March 2008
Allergen: Gluten-containing cereal
Ref: Q/2008
Product
Maize Flour Polenta, 500g
Risk
As a result of a labelling error, one batch of the product is labelled as being gluten free but has been found to contain gluten at a level which is generally recognised to be unsuitable for a naturally gluten-free product. This makes this batch of the product unsafe for individuals who are intolerant to gluten.
