“Do not consume recalled products to which you are allergic or sensitive,” the Canadian Food Inspection Agency said in a warning posted on Saturday as two soup products faced a mandatory market withdrawal due to undeclared wheat and gluten.
The recall covers Baba’s Borscht Soup and Wardy’s Bow Valley Beef Barley distributed by Soup Time Alberta Inc. Regulatory officials flagged the items because they might contain wheat and gluten, presenting a severe health hazard for consumers with specific food sensitivities.
“Do not consume the recalled products if you have celiac disease or other gluten-related disorders,” the advisory stated.
The affected soups were sold online in Alberta and possibly across other Canadian provinces and territories. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency advised that individuals managing celiac disease or other gluten-related sensitivities must avoid the items entirely, noting the exposure may cause a serious or life-threatening reaction.
Consumers who purchased the items are instructed to throw them out or return them to the original retail location. Regulatory enforcement directives prohibit serving, using, selling, or distributing the products.
No adverse reactions linked to the consumption of Baba’s Borscht Soup or Wardy’s Bow Valley Beef Barley had been reported to regulatory authorities.
