Those of you with Celiac Disease or a wheat/gluten allergy will want to pay attention to this post.

Stop & Shop is recalling Ian's All-Natural Italian Style Panko Bread Crumbs due to labeling issues that could lead to a 'glutened' reaction.

While the bread crumbs are labeled 'gluten free,' wheat is listed in the ingredients.

If you purchased a 9oz bag of this item, it is recommended that you ask for a refund and dispose of the product.
The UPC code that is being recalled is: 74951277220.
There are several expiration dates that are included in this recall:
31May15
11Oct15
17Oct15

As we all know, any Celiac that accidentally ingests wheat will rapidly develop 'glutened' symptoms.
Of course, if you begin to suffer these symptoms, contact your doctor immediately.
The company has recommended that you throw away the recalled package and ask for a refund.

This is the reason why we Celiacs need to read our labels. We need to pay attention to the ingredients. Not all gluten free items are completely gluten free (even though they, by law, need to test below 20ppm in order to have the label 'gluten free.'
Even though Ian's is a popular gluten free brand, it isn't a 100% gluten free brand. They do make products that contain wheat/gluten.

Folks, PLEASE READ YOUR LABELS AND INGREDIENTS (even if it is labeled gluten free).
