Sticky Fingers Bakeries Gluten-Free Scones Recalled for Wheat Ingredient

Custom Foods LLC is recalling Sticky Fingers Bakeries Gluten-Free Scones because wheat is listed in the ingredients, posing a risk to individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which the rubric associates with scores of 1 or 2. Given the specific risk to individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity due to mislabeling, a score of 2 (Moderate) is appropriate as it is a labeling error with a specific health impact for a subset of the population, rather than a cosmetic or documentation-only issue.
