NumelineTruly AIP and EAT G.A.N.G.S.T.E.R. recall: gluten-free mixes with gluten, traced to a certified gluten-free flour
GF Blends, of Richland, Washington, is recalling three products sold as gluten-free: Truly AIP All Purpose Flour, Truly AIP Rustic Bread Mix and EAT G.A.N.G.S.T.E.R. Pizza Crust and Flat Bread Mix. They may contain wheat gluten. On October 28, 2026, the FDA classified the recall Class I, its most serious level.
Which products and lots are recalled
According to the FDA's records, the recall covers six lots and 4,664 bags:
- Truly AIP All Purpose Baking Mix Flour, 15.3 oz — lot 260225 (best by 2-25-28) and lot 260610 (best by 6-10-28); 1,495 bags.
- Truly AIP Rustic Bread Mix, 14 oz — lot 260417 (best by 4-17-28) and lot 260617 (best by 12-17-27); 986 bags.
- EAT G.A.N.G.S.T.E.R. Pizza Crust and Flat Bread Mix, 5.8 oz (165 g) and 3.98 lb — lot 260327 (best by 7-27-27 and 9-27-27) and lot 260803 (best by 2-03-28); 2,163 small bags and 20 large ones.
The products were sold online only, nationwide, on eatgangster.com, trulyaip.com and Amazon, until September 12, 2026.
The lot numbers appear to be production dates written year-month-day: 260225 would be February 25, 2026, and its best-by date is exactly two years later. That is our reading of the published codes; the notice does not explain them. It means the lot number alone tells you when your bag was made.
How gluten got into a gluten-free mix
According to the company's notice, published by the FDA on September 18, the products were made with plantain flour supplied by PMF Global. That flour was labeled and certified gluten-free. Independent third-party testing found gluten in it, and all the recalled products tested well above the FDA's limit of 20 parts per million, the maximum a food can contain and still be labeled "gluten-free." GF Blends said it would run further tests to confirm the gluten comes from wheat.
This is the uncomfortable part of the recall. A maker of gluten-free products usually relies on its suppliers' certificates; here, the certified ingredient itself was the problem. The notice does not say whether PMF Global sold the same plantain flour to other food makers, and we found no separate recall from PMF Global.
Why it is Class I
The products are aimed at people who avoid gluten strictly. "AIP" stands for the autoimmune protocol, an elimination diet; plantain flour is popular in grain-free and gluten-free baking. For someone with celiac disease, gluten damages the small intestine even in small amounts, and for someone with a wheat allergy, it can trigger a serious reaction. That is why the FDA placed the recall in its most serious category, even though no illness had been reported as of September 17.
The company started notifying its customers by email on September 8. The FDA classification came seven weeks later; the recall will appear in the FDA's weekly Enforcement Report dated November 4.
What to do
If you have Truly AIP All Purpose Flour, Truly AIP Rustic Bread Mix or EAT G.A.N.G.S.T.E.R. Pizza Crust and Flat Bread Mix, check the lot number: 260225, 260610, 260417, 260617, 260327 or 260803. If you have celiac disease, a wheat allergy or a strong gluten intolerance, do not use it. Return it for a full refund or throw it away; GF Blends says it is arranging replacements.
