If you or someone in your household has celiac disease or a severe wheat gluten intolerance, it is time to check the pantry. GF Blends has recalled several batches of its Truly AIP All Purpose Flour and Bread Mix, along with EAT G.A.N.G.S.T.E.R. Flat Bread Pizza Mix, after testing revealed the products may contain undeclared wheat gluten.

The Washington-based company announced the recall on September 18, 2026, after independent third-party testing found that a plantain flour ingredient used in the products, supplied by PMF Global and certified gluten free, actually contained gluten at levels significantly above the FDA’s 20 parts-per-million threshold for gluten-free labeling. Because the flour was marketed as gluten free, none of the affected packaging discloses wheat as an ingredient, putting gluten-sensitive consumers at risk without warning.
Products Affected by This Recall
The recall covers six specific lots across three product lines. Consumers should check both the product name and the lot number printed on the packaging before deciding whether to keep or discard an item.
- Truly AIP All Purpose Flour, 15.3 oz – Lot 260225, best-by 2-25-28
- Truly AIP All Purpose Flour, 15.3 oz – Lot 260610, best-by 6-10-28
- Truly AIP Bread Mix, 14 oz – Lot 260417, best-by 4-17-28
- Truly AIP Bread Mix, 14 oz – Lot 260617, best-by 12-17-27
- EAT G.A.N.G.S.T.E.R. Flat Bread Pizza Mix, 163 g and 3.98 lb – Lot 260327, best-by 9-27-27 and 7-27-27
- EAT G.A.N.G.S.T.E.R. Flat Bread Pizza Mix, 163 g – Lot 260803, best-by 2-03-28
Why Was This Recall Issued?
According to GF Blends’ announcement, the contamination traces back to a supplied ingredient rather than an in-house processing error. The company stated that all recalled lots tested at gluten levels ‘significantly exceeding’ the FDA’s regulatory limit for gluten-free products, meaning the plantain flour used across these mixes did not perform as certified. GF Blends said it will conduct further testing to confirm the presence of wheat gluten specifically.

For most shoppers, a mislabeled ingredient is a minor inconvenience. For people managing celiac disease, however, even trace amounts of gluten can trigger an autoimmune reaction that damages the small intestine, along with symptoms ranging from digestive distress to fatigue and, over time, more serious complications if exposure continues.
Who Is Affected?
The recalled products were sold nationwide through the company’s own websites, eatgangster.com and trulyaip.com, as well as through Amazon.com and various retail partners, up until September 12, 2026. Because the products were distributed online to a national customer base rather than through a limited regional footprint, GF Blends is treating this as a nationwide recall rather than one confined to specific states.
As of September 17, 2026, when the recall was initiated, GF Blends said it had not received any reports of adverse health effects linked to the affected lots.
What Should You Do?
Anyone with celiac disease or a severe wheat gluten intolerance should not consume any of the listed products. GF Blends is asking customers to return the recalled items to their place of purchase for a full refund, or simply discard them if a receipt or store return isn’t practical. The company says it has already reached out to known customers by email and phone and is arranging replacement product for those affected.
Consumers with questions can reach GF Blends directly at 509-375-0909, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Pacific time, or by emailing recall@gfblends.com.
From the Agency
GF Blends says the recall is being carried out with the FDA’s knowledge, and the agency has posted the company’s announcement as a public service without endorsing either the product or the company. The FDA continues to treat undeclared allergens, including wheat gluten in products marketed as gluten free, as a priority food-safety issue given the serious health consequences they can pose for people with celiac disease.
Consumers are encouraged to check their own supply of Truly AIP and EAT G.A.N.G.S.T.E.R. products against the lot numbers listed above, even if they do not have a diagnosed gluten sensitivity, since these items may have been shared with or gifted to others who do.
