The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has announced that Vibrant Health Products, a bakery located in Abbotsford, B.C., Canada, has recalled a single lot of its “liveGfree Gluten Free Classic Soft White Hamburger Buns.” In a packaging error, the bakery inadvertently packaged its “liveGfree Gluten Free White Bread,” which contains egg, in the “Soft White Hamburger Buns” packaging. The labels on this packaging material do not mention the presence of the egg allergen.
The lot of “liveGfree Gluten Free Classic Soft White Hamburger Buns” affected by the recall were sold in ALDI stores between 4/13/2017 and 7/27/2017 in the states of Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, Washington, D.C., West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The 11.3-ounce blue packaging is stamped with lot numbers ending in #0897 on the front of the packaging and the UPC code #0 41498 25980 8 on the back of the packaging.
People who are allergic to eggs may become ill if they eat this gluten-free product. They are advised to throw it away or return it to their Aldi store for a complete refund.
