Plain-English summary
InHarvest, Inc. is recalling 120 cases of Lunds & Byerlys White Quinoa, 16 oz. (454g) bags. The product is identified by the UPC 0 72431 00195 6 and a best-by date of Feb 11, 2019. The bags feature a clear panel in the front.
The recall was initiated after a customer notified the firm that some bags of White Quinoa actually contain Israeli Couscous. Israeli Couscous is made with wheat flour and rosemary extract. Because the product is labeled as White Quinoa, it does not declare wheat as an ingredient or allergen, posing a risk to individuals with wheat allergies.
The product was distributed to one customer in Minnesota. Consumers who purchased this product should check their pantries for the specific UPC and best-by date. If they have the affected product, they should stop using it and contact the retailer or manufacturer for a refund or replacement.
