EXOTIQUE FOODS CANADA — Class I: Momchipz Gluten Free Veggie Chips Broccoli Florets & Cauliflower, net wt. 3oz (85g). UPC 6
EXOTIQUE FOODS CANADA has initiated an ongoing Class I recall for Momchipz Gluten Free Veggie Chips (Broccoli Florets & Cauliflower) due to undeclared wheat. The product was manufactured in Indonesia and imported for distribution.
This affects EXOTIQUE FOODS CANADA, food importers, and quality/compliance professionals responsible for allergen labeling and gluten-free claims in the snack food sector.
A Class I designation signifies a high probability of serious adverse health consequences for consumers with wheat allergies or celiac disease. The presence of wheat in a product specifically marketed as 'Gluten Free' indicates a significant failure in allergen control programs or ingredient verification, which may invite increased scrutiny of imported specialty foods.
QA teams should immediately verify the allergen status of products labeled as 'Gluten Free' and review supply chain verification procedures for imported items. Regulatory departments should update labeling controls to ensure all ingredients, including potential cross-contaminants or processing aids, are disclosed.
