The Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (Aesan) has issued an alert related to a food product widely distributed throughout Spain.
This is a lot (L3322) of one-liter containers of gluten-free oat drink with BIO calcium from the BiotoBio brand. This warning comes after the health authorities of Catalonia reported the discovery of gluten in the product.
The situation arose as a result of a self-control process carried out by the company, which, in a responsible manner, informed the competent authorities about the discovery of gluten in the product. Aesan has urged to verify the withdrawal of the affected products from marketing channels.
The agency strongly advises people suffering from problems related to gluten intake to refrain from consuming this specific product as a precautionary measure. It is important to highlight that this gluten-free oat drink with BIO calcium from BiotoBio has a wide distribution throughout Spain, so the warning seeks to prevent risks to the health of consumers.
The presence of gluten in a product labeled “gluten-free” can be especially dangerous for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, as unintentional ingestion of gluten can trigger a number of health problems. The rapid response of Aesan and the company in detecting this problem underlines the importance of food safety and compliance with current regulations.
It is essential that consumers are aware of this alert and check if they have batch L3322 of BiotoBio’s BIO gluten-free oat drink with calcium in their homes. If you have it, it is recommended not to consume it and follow the instructions provided by health authorities to guarantee food safety.
