United Sugar Producers and Refiners — Class II: Powdered Sugar, Packaged in the following configurations: 1. United 6X, Net Wt. 50 lbs.
United Sugar Producers and Refiners has initiated a Class II recall for specific configurations of powdered sugar due to potential wheat kernel contamination. The recall includes bulk industrial sizes (50 lbs and 25 lbs) and retail packaging (2 lbs) distributed under the United 6X, Crystal Sugar, and Good & Gather brands.
This affects food manufacturers utilizing bulk powdered sugar ingredients, retail distributors carrying the Good & Gather brand, and QA/Food Safety teams responsible for allergen control programs.
Wheat is a major allergen; contamination in a product typically considered gluten-free or single-ingredient, like powdered sugar, presents a significant risk to consumers with celiac disease or wheat allergies. The presence of foreign material (wheat kernels) suggests a potential failure in raw material sourcing or cross-contamination during processing or transportation, which may necessitate an investigation into current preventive controls.
Quality teams should immediately verify inventory against the specified item numbers and UPCs. Supply chain managers should notify downstream commercial customers to ensure affected 50 lb and 25 lb industrial units and 2 lb retail units are segregated from the supply chain.
