A snack manufacturer in Madison Heights, Missouri is recalling certain packages of Reese’s Pieces which are advertised as gluten-free, but do in fact contain undeclared wheat.
On Thursday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a recall of Second Nature Brands’ four-ounce packages of “Gluten Free Reese’s Pieces Brownie Brittle.”
Gluten allergies and wheat sensitivities can be serious, and in this case, one customer has already fallen ill.
This product was distributed nationwide, so the FDA is urging customers around the U.S. to check their cabinets and dispose of the snacks safely.
Since the product is not labeled appropriately, even those without gluten intolerance run a risk by keeping it in a house where visitors may eat it by mistake.
The recall was reportedly spurred by one illness reported to the FDA, but details on that case are not available.
