Bread sold at Target, other retailers recalled over gluten concerns

Heads up, gluten-free consumers: A company is recalling two of its bread products over concerns that items — which are supposed to be gluten-free — contain gluten after all.

Flower Foods Inc., in an announcement posted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) website, said two of its products, Canyon Bakehouse Mountain White Bread and Canyon Bakehouse Everything Bagels, are facing the recall. Consuming gluten — or the proteins found in wheat — “may cause adverse health effects or serious allergic reactions” in people with a wheat allergy, celiac disease, or gluten or wheat sensitivity, per the announcement.

“The products being recalled were distributed to retail customers in Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming,” reads the recall notice. “The recall was initiated after finished product testing revealed the possible presence of gluten.”
