CFIA Undeclared Gluten in Candy - 2014-2015
Description
The main objective of this survey was to obtain baseline information regarding the presence and levels of undeclared gluten in candies. 586 samples were tested in this survey, and 4 of the samples were found to contain undeclared gluten. 2 positive results were found in hard candy products while the other 2 were found in soft candy products. 3 of these 4 samples were forwarded to the CFIA's Office of Food Safety and Recall (OFSR) to determine if the levels found would pose a health risk to allergic individuals. The extent of the follow-up actions taken by agency is based on the seriousness of the contamination and the health concern as determined by a health risk assessment. 1 soft candy containing undeclared gluten was deemed to represent a health risk and was recalled.
