Gluten (cereals): risks and product recalls in Ireland
Cereals containing gluten (wheat, barley, rye and others) must be declared; undeclared gluten is a serious risk for people with coeliac disease.
What it is
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, rye and related grains such as spelt. Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition in which gluten damages the lining of the gut; it is different from a wheat allergy, which is an immune reaction to wheat proteins.
Health effects of a reaction
For people with coeliac disease, eating gluten can cause stomach pain, bloating, diarrhoea and fatigue, and over time damages the gut and affects nutrient absorption. Wheat allergy can cause typical allergic reactions, including, rarely, anaphylaxis.
How it leads to a recall
Recalls occur when a product labelled or assumed gluten-free actually contains gluten, or when a gluten-containing cereal is not declared — through a labelling error, recipe change or cross-contamination.
What to do
If you have coeliac disease or a wheat allergy, do not eat the affected product — return it for a refund. Speak to your GP or dietitian if you have ongoing symptoms.
