Sugar Recall: 1.7 Million Pounds Recalled over Possible Allergens
The Class II recall covers light brown and powdered sugar sold under three brands after a possible wheat contamination, the FDA said.
- The Food and Drug Administration recalled nearly 1.7 million pounds of sugar across 8 states due to "potential wheat kernel contamination" affecting United, Good & Gather, and Crystal Sugar brands.
- Wheat is one of the nine major food allergens tracked by the Food and Drug Administration, and reactions in allergic individuals can be serious.
- Recalled products include 50-lb bags of United Light Brown Sugar, 2-lb bags of Good & Gather Light Brown Sugar, and 25-lb bags of Crystal Sugar Powdered Sugar distributed across Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas.
- The Food and Drug Administration classified this as a Class II recall, which "may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences," though "the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote."
- While the Food and Drug Administration does not list specific retailers, Good & Gather is a Target-owned food brand sold exclusively at Target, helping consumers locate affected products.
