Flat Bread Pizza Mix were distributed nationwide through brand sites, Amazon, and retailers through Sept. 12, 2026.

GF Blends Issues Nationwide Recall After Plantain Flour Tests Positive for Gluten
FDA Website
For people with celiac disease or severe gluten intolerance, a "gluten-free" label is a medical necessity, not a convenience. GF Blends has issued a voluntary nationwide recall after independent third‑party laboratory tests found that plantain flour used in production contained gluten at levels exceeding the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's 20 parts per million (ppm) threshold.
What happened: The plantain flour was supplied and certified as gluten-free by PMF Global, but independent testing detected gluten contamination. As a result, GF Blends is recalling several products from its Truly AIP and EAT G.A.N.G.S.T.E.R. brand lines that used the contaminated ingredient.
Affected Products
- Truly AIP All Purpose Flour — 15.3 oz (Lot 260225, Best By 2-25-28; Lot 260610, Best By 6-10-28)
- Truly AIP Bread Mix — 14 oz (Lot 260417, Best By 4-17-28; Lot 260617, Best By 12-17-27)
- EAT G.A.N.G.S.T.E.R. Flat Bread Pizza Mix — (Lot 260327, Best By 9-27-27 or 7-27-27; Lot 260803, Best By 2-03-28)
These items were distributed nationwide through GF Blends' own websites, Amazon, and various retail partners, with distribution continuing through September 12, 2026.
Health Risk and Consumer Guidance
No adverse health effects have been reported to date. However, anyone with celiac disease, non‑celiac gluten sensitivity, or a severe allergy to gluten should not consume the affected lots. Consumers who have purchased recalled packages should return them to the place of purchase for a full refund or discard them.
For questions, contact GF Blends at 509-375-0909 (Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–4 p.m. PT) or email [email protected]. The full list of lot numbers and best‑by dates is available on the FDA's website at FDA.gov.
Why This Matters
This incident highlights a breakdown in the ingredient supply chain: the contamination originated upstream with a supplier that had certified the flour as gluten‑free but failed independent verification. The case is an important reminder that even brands with robust controls can be vulnerable to mislabeled or contaminated ingredients from third parties.
Consumers relying on gluten‑free products should check lot numbers before using these items and follow recall instructions. Manufacturers and suppliers should review testing and verification procedures to prevent future incidents.
