RECALL: Do you have a gluten allergy? Australian authorities warn against consuming this popular cracker after a packaging error
- Replies 0
If you have allergies, you know how important it is to be careful with your food. Just a little bit of the wrong food can make you sick, or even send you to the hospital. That’s why it’s so important to always check the labels on food and to only eat food that you know is safe for you.
The safety of our food is always of the utmost importance, which is why authorities are quick to recall items that may contain undeclared allergens.
Speaking of product recalls, Crispbic Wafer Bics Gluten Free wafers were immediately removed from shelves across the nation after authorities discovered that they contain gluten and wheat.
According to Food Standards Australia, there was a mishap in the packaging of the products, pointing out that a batch of the gluten-containing variant of the crackers was incorrectly packed using the packaging for the gluten-free version.
The group warned: 'Any consumers who have a wheat or gluten allergy or intolerance may have a reaction if the product is consumed.'
The cheese board favourite was sold in IGA supermarkets and independent food stores in New South Wales, the ACT, Queensland, Victoria, and South Australia.
The recalled crackers have the following best before dates: Best Before 28 March 2023.

Authorities advise consumers to return the goods to the store where they made their purchase for a full refund if they have a wheat or gluten allergy or intolerance.
While it's impossible to know every single ingredient in every food we eat, it's important to be aware of the potential risks associated with certain allergens. That's why manufacturers are required to list all known allergens on their labels.
However, sometimes undeclared allergens slip through the cracks. When this happens, the authorities are quick to act, issuing a recall to ensure that consumers are not put at risk.
While it's always unfortunate when a recall is necessary, it's important to know this information so we can act accordingly and take necessary precautions.
