Firm Recalls Cookie and Pizza Mix Sold on Amazon Over Undeclared Wheat Gluten

Consumers who rely on gluten-free products are being urged to check their pantry after GF Blends recalled several baking mixes distributed nationwide, including products sold through Amazon.com.

The recall involves Truly AIP All Purpose Flour, Truly AIP Bread Mix, and EAT G.A.N.G.S.T.E.R. Flat Bread Pizza Mix. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the products may contain undeclared wheat gluten. The recall is particularly important for people with celiac disease or severe wheat or gluten intolerance, who can face adverse health effects after consuming products containing gluten.

The FDA published the company's recall announcement on Sept. 18, 2026. The agency identified the recall reason as an undeclared wheat allergen.

What caused the recall?

According to GF Blends, the affected products were made using plantain flour supplied by PMF Global. The ingredient had been labeled and certified as gluten free.

However, independent third-party testing later found that the plantain flour contained gluten. GF Blends said testing of the recalled finished products also found gluten levels significantly above the FDA's 20 parts per million threshold for foods labeled gluten free.

The company said it is conducting additional testing to confirm the presence of wheat gluten.

The FDA's recall notice states that GF Blends initiated the recall after the contamination was confirmed and notified affected customers. The company also placed the affected lots on hold and began arranging replacement products.

For consumers who purchase gluten-free foods because of a medical condition, the issue is more significant than an ordinary labeling mistake. A product marketed as gluten free can be relied upon by consumers when selecting food that they believe does not contain wheat or gluten.

Which products are included?

The recall covers specific lots and best-by dates for three products.

The affected Truly AIP All Purpose Flour comes in 15.3-ounce packages. The recalled lot numbers are 260225, with a best-by date of Feb. 25, 2028, and 260610, with a best-by date of June 10, 2028.

The recalled Truly AIP Bread Mix comes in 14-ounce packages. The affected lot numbers are 260417, with a best-by date of April 17, 2028, and 260617, with a best-by date of Dec. 17, 2027.

The EAT G.A.N.G.S.T.E.R. Flat Bread Pizza Mix is also included. The affected products include 163-gram and 3.98-pound packages from lot 260327, with best-by dates of Sept. 27, 2027, and July 27, 2027. Another affected 163-gram product carries lot number 260803, with a best-by date of Feb. 3, 2028.

Consumers should check the product packaging carefully rather than relying only on the product name or the store where it was purchased.

Where were the products sold?

The recalled products were distributed through several channels.

According to the FDA, affected products were distributed through customers of GF Blends through Sept. 12, 2026. They were sold through Amazon.com to retail and online customers nationwide. The products were also distributed through EatGangster.com and TrulyAIP.com.

This nationwide distribution means consumers who purchased the products online should check their recent orders, particularly if they purchased gluten-free baking ingredients or pizza mix.

Online grocery purchases can sometimes remain in kitchen cabinets for months, making it important for consumers to check their pantry even if they bought the products some time ago.

Who should be concerned?

The FDA specifically advises people with celiac disease or severe wheat gluten intolerance not to consume the recalled products.

For those consumers, avoiding gluten is an important part of managing their condition. The presence of undeclared wheat gluten can therefore present a health concern.

The FDA states that no reports of adverse health effects associated with the recalled products had been received as of Sept. 17, 2026.

The absence of reported illnesses does not mean the recalled products are appropriate for people who need to avoid gluten. The recall exists because testing identified gluten in products that were represented as gluten free.

Why does undeclared wheat matter?

Wheat is one of the major food allergens recognized under U.S. federal law.

The FDA currently recognizes nine major food allergens: milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, and sesame. Sesame became the ninth major food allergen under the FASTER Act, with the relevant labeling requirements taking effect Jan. 1, 2023.

Federal allergen-labeling requirements are designed to help consumers identify major allergens in packaged foods. For people with food allergies, accurate labeling can be an important part of avoiding ingredients that may cause a reaction.

Wheat is also particularly relevant to consumers who purchase products specifically marketed as gluten free. A person may choose such a product because they need to avoid gluten rather than because of a general dietary preference.

What should consumers do?

GF Blends and the FDA advise consumers with celiac disease or severe wheat gluten intolerance not to eat the recalled products.

Consumers should return the products to the place of purchase for a full refund or discard them. GF Blends has also said it is arranging replacement products for affected customers.

Consumers with questions can contact GF Blends at 509-375-0909, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Pacific Time, or by email at recall@gfblends.com.

If you purchased one of the products online, checking the lot number and best-by date on the package is especially important. Consumers should not assume that every package of a particular product is included in the recall. The FDA notice identifies specific lots and dates.

A reminder about food recalls

Food recalls can occur when manufacturers discover problems involving ingredients, labeling, contamination, allergens, or other safety concerns.

This case also illustrates why ingredient suppliers can play an important role in food safety. According to GF Blends, the recalled products were made with plantain flour that had been supplied as gluten free, but subsequent independent testing found gluten in the ingredient.

For consumers, the practical response is straightforward: check the recalled product information, compare the lot number and date with the packaging in your home, and follow the manufacturer's instructions if your product is affected.

Consumers who have questions about a medical reaction should seek advice from an appropriate healthcare professional. The FDA recall notice provides product and company information but does not replace individualized medical advice.
