Undeclared Wheat Prompts Recall of Momchipz Bell Pepper Veggie Chips

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has classified a Class 2 recall for Momchipz brand Veggie Chips (Bell Pepper Chips) after officials determined the snack contains undeclared wheat, a known allergen that was not listed on the product label. The recall notice was issued on September 5, 2026, and published through Health Canada’s recall and safety alert system, with the agency’s file last updated on September 16, 2026.

The affected product is sold in 85 g packages under the UPC 6 28634 44218 0, carrying a best before date of 2026 August 31. The item was distributed to retail locations in Ontario as well as sold online, meaning consumers outside the province may also have purchased the chips through internet orders.

Recalled Products at a Glance

• Brand: Momchipz
• Product: Veggie Chips (Bell Pepper Chips)
• Size: 85 g
• UPC: 6 28634 44218 0
• Code: Best Before 2026 AUGUST 31
• Recalling firm: Exotique Foods Inc.

Why Was This Recall Issued?

The recall stems from a labelling failure. Wheat, along with gluten, was present in the Bell Pepper Veggie Chips but was not declared on the packaging as required under Canadian food labelling regulations. For people with a wheat allergy or gluten-related disorders such as celiac disease, eating a product without a clear allergen warning removes their ability to make an informed decision before consuming it.

This is not an isolated notice. The CFIA has also flagged a related recall for Momchipz brand Veggie Chips in a Broccoli Florets & Cauliflower variety, also tied to undeclared wheat, suggesting the labelling issue may extend across more than one product line from the same manufacturer.

Where Were These Products Sold?

According to the recall notice, the chips were distributed to retail stores in Ontario and were also made available through online sales channels. Because online distribution has no fixed geographic boundary, Health Canada’s alert is treated as having a wider reach than the Ontario retail listing alone suggests.

Steps Consumers Should Take

Anyone who has purchased the recalled Momchipz Bell Pepper Veggie Chips should not eat the product, particularly if they have a wheat allergy, gluten intolerance, or celiac disease. The recall notice directs retailers and distributors not to use, sell, serve or distribute the affected chips.
