General Mills is recalling boxes of Cheerios and Honey Nut Cheerios after wheat flour entered its gluten-free production system at a California plant.
The company announced the voluntary recall Monday afternoon, writing in a press release that the recall stems from "an isolated incident resulted in wheat flour being inadvertently introduced into the gluten free oat flour system at its Lodi [Calif.] facility."
Cheerios and Honey Nut Cheerios are labeled as being "gluten-free."
The recall includes four days of production of its original Cheerios and 13 days of production of Honey Nut Cheerios from the Lodi plant. Recalled boxes can be identified by their "BETTER IF USED BY" code dates, including the plant code LD which indicates the product was produced at Lodi, California.
