Nature's Path recalls kids' cereal due to undeclared gluten
Nature's Path Foods is recalling more than 450,000 boxes of gluten-free cereal for children because the breakfast food could contain wheat and barley, which can cause serious health problems for those sensitive or allergic to gluten.
Sold nationwide and in Canada, the recall involves a specific production run of the company's EnviroKidz line -- Choco Chimps, Gorilla Munch and Jungle Munch -- that may contain undeclared gluten, according to a news release posted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
In the U.S., recalled products involve 10-ounce boxes with the following labels and "best before" dates:
EnviroKidz Choco Chimp with the UPC code 0 5844987024 1 and a "best before date" of Aug. 27, 2019.
EnviroKidz Gorilla Munch with the UPC code 0 58449 86002 0 and a "best before date" of Aug. 24, 2019.
EnviroKidz Jungle Munch with the UPC code 0 58449 86002 0 and a "best before date" of Sep. 21, 2019.
Canadians should not consume the following recalled products (all 284 grams):
EnviroKidz Choco Chimp with the UPC code 05844987023 4 with a "best before date" of Aug. 27, 2019
