Nine-Province Recall Hits One Degree Sprouted Whole Wheat Flour 2026

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has published a Class 3 recall notification for One Degree Organic Foods brand Sprouted Whole Wheat Flour. The recall was dated October 16, 2026 and posted publicly on October 19, 2026. It was issued because the product carries a misleading gluten free claim. The affected flour was distributed in nine Canadian provinces, so shoppers who avoid gluten should check their pantries.

The notification is listed under the identification number RA-82809 and is classified as a food allergen issue involving gluten. Health Canada lists the audience as retail, and the recalling firm is One Degree Organic Foods Inc.

Recalled Products at a Glance

Only one product is named in the notification: the 907 g bag of One Degree Organic Foods Sprouted Whole Wheat Flour. It carries the UPC 6 75625 10414 5. Check the best before date printed on the package against the codes below.

If your bag matches the brand, size, UPC and one of these dates, it is part of the recall.

What Triggered the Recall

The CFIA says the product was recalled because of a misleading gluten free claim. Wheat flour naturally contains gluten, so a package that suggests otherwise could lead people who must avoid gluten to buy and eat it without knowing the risk. The agency lists the issue as Food – Allergen – Gluten.

The notification does not say how the incorrect claim ended up on the product. It also does not mention any reported illnesses or reactions linked to the flour. Shoppers who want more detail can contact the CFIA using the details further down.

Where Were These Products Sold?

According to the notification, the flour was distributed in the following provinces:

• Alberta
• British Columbia
• Manitoba
• New Brunswick
• Nova Scotia
• Ontario
• Prince Edward Island
• Quebec
• Saskatchewan

The notice does not list individual retailers or stores. It gives provinces only, so check any bag of this flour you own regardless of where you bought it.

People with celiac disease, gluten sensitivity or a wheat allergy should pay the closest attention, because they are the people most likely to rely on a gluten free claim. Households that bake for someone who avoids gluten should also check, as should retailers, food service operators and anyone who may have received the product through a retail channel.

How to Respond to This Recall

The CFIA’s instruction is short and direct: do not use, sell, serve or distribute the affected product. Here is what that means in practice.

• Look at the bag. Confirm the brand, the 907 g size, the UPC and the best before date.
• If it matches, stop using it. Do not bake with it or share it with others.
• Keep it away from anyone who avoids gluten so that it is not used by mistake.
• Retailers and food businesses should remove the product from shelves and from any menu or kitchen use.
• If you have questions about returns or refunds, contact the retailer where you bought the flour or the recalling firm, One Degree Organic Foods Inc. The notification does not give a refund process.

If you or someone in your household ate this flour and has concerns about gluten exposure, speak with a health professional.
