Nature’s Path recalling kid’s gluten-free cereals over undeclared gluten

According to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Nature’s Path is voluntarily recalling 10oz boxes of EnviroKidz Choco Chimps, Gorilla Munch and Jungle Munch with the following ‘Best Before’ dates:

The FDA added the error has been isolated to one of Nature’s Path’s facilities and was due to air contamination as a result of incorrect production scheduling.

Other gluten-free Nature’s Path and EnviroKidz products are not impacted and are not part of this voluntary recall.

A spokesperson for Nature’s Path noted that, while the company is recalling the entire production run, not all of the produced boxes came into contact with the gluten and are being recalled out of abundance of caution.

The company said of the 450,648 cereal boxes recalled, 410,688 were shipped to US retailers nationwide and the rest were sold in Canada.

“Making healthy, nutritious, organic food is our passion,”​ said Arjan Stephens, executive VP of Sales & Marketing at Nature’s Path.

“This failure to meet the gluten-free standard our consumers expect and trust from us is a deep concern. We have reviewed and changed our internal practices to ensure our gluten-free cereals are not impacted in the future.”​

Customers can return the recalled product to their point of purchase for a refund.
