Food Safety Alert: Gluten Allergen Detected in Buckwheat Flour and Related Products
Date: November 19, 2025
The Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition has issued an important alert regarding the detection of gluten allergens in buckwheat flour and related products. This incident falls under the category of allergen control, highlighting the potential risks associated with the consumption of these products for individuals with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
Buckwheat flour, often used as an alternative to traditional wheat flour, is typically considered gluten-free. However, the recent findings indicate that certain batches may have been contaminated with gluten, posing a significant health risk to those who are allergic or intolerant to gluten. Consumers are urged to exercise caution when purchasing and consuming buckwheat flour and any products derived from it.
It is essential for consumers to carefully read labels and check for any allergen warnings or advisories. Those with gluten allergies should avoid products that may contain buckwheat flour until further information is provided by health authorities. The Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition is actively investigating the source of the contamination and will provide updates as they become available.
In light of this incident, food manufacturers and retailers are reminded of their responsibility to ensure the safety of their products and to implement rigorous testing protocols to prevent allergen cross-contamination.
For more information and updates, consumers are encouraged to follow announcements from food safety authorities.
