Harmful ingredient triggers urgent recall for gluten-free bread from supermarkets
- Replies 1
Bread is a staple in many households, offering comfort and sustenance in various ways.
But if you're a fan of gluten-free bread, you might want to check your pantry.
Gluten Freedom, a popular brand of gluten-free bread, has been pulled from supermarket shelves across Australia due to the presence of an unexpected and potentially harmful ingredient: plastic.
The recall affects a range of Gluten Freedom bread products sold at IGA, independent grocery stores, independent food retailers, and selected Woolworths Metro stores.
The recall was issued by Food Standards Australia, which warned that the presence of plastic in the bread could cause illness or injury if consumed.
The products included in the recall are:
Food Standards Australia advised consumers not to eat these products and should seek medical advice if they are concerned about their health.
‘Consumers should return the products to the place of purchase for a full refund,’ it added.
More information on the recall can be found on the Food Standards Australia website.

This comes after the car brand Skoda issued an urgent recall for nearly 4,000 vehicles across Australia, particularly the Skoda Superb and Octavia models sold between 2020 and 2024.
The recall has been prompted by a potential brake fault that could lead to fire, posing a significant risk to drivers, passengers, and other road users.
