(Ottawa) The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is recalling Universal Bakery brand Organic Aussie Bites, saying the product contains gluten which is not declared on the label.
The bites were labeled as gluten free.
The CFIA says the product was sold online and in stores in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan.
The snacks were sold in 850 gram packs with an expiration date of August 28, 2024.
The agency says people with celiac disease or other gluten-related disorders should not consume the recalled product because it could cause a serious or even fatal reaction.
She says a reaction was reported in a person who ate bites.
The agency explains that products should be thrown away or returned to the place where they were purchased.
