Recently, in Canada, there was a recall for Bob's Red Mill Sweet White Sorghum Flour. The recall was due to "undeclared gluten" in the product. The product was found to have 32ppm of gluten, which is a dangerously high number for those of us with Celiac disease, and those with gluten sensitivity. This news has angered the Celiac community.
Bob's Red Mill has been a trusted provider of gluten free flour for many years. Now, the Celiac community is passing up Bob's Red Mill, for more Celiac-friendly companies.
I don't blame them either. I have also heard that this isn't the first time that Bob's Red Mill has been in the hot seat. I, for one, am going to steer clear of this company. When you have Celiac disease, there is no such thing as being "too careful."
I recommend that fellow Celiacs also steer clear of Bob's Red Mill. I suggest going with King Arthur flour, which IS Certified gluten free. Jules gluten free flour is also Certified gluten free.
