Health alert with Gorilla Munch cereal

By the A.M. Costa Rica staff

The Ministry of Health wishes to inform the population about possible gluten contamination in a specific lot of Gorilla Munch cereal.

The cereal is supposed to be gluten-free and is being withdrawn from the national market.

The Gorilla Munch box of cereal weighing 284 grams is registered with the Ministry of Health of Costa Rica in the food category with the number A-US-16-00456.

This product declares itself to be gluten-free, but the manufacturer, Nature's Path Foods, in the U.S. has reported that some batches of their cereals from the Envirokidz line could have been accidentally contaminated with wheat and barley and that they may, therefore, contain gluten.

This is potentially dangerous for the health of celiac consumers or those with some degree of gluten intolerance.

Nature's Path is conducting a voluntary market recall of affected lots.

In Costa Rica, the withdrawal is in the charge Central America Pharma Supply and applies only to lot #058449860020 with expiration date September 21 of Envirokidz Gorilla Munch cereal, of which 1,188 units were imported.

The Central America Pharma Supply company notified the Ministry of Health that it has recovered 345 units from the affected lot and that it keeps 624 units separated.

Work is being done to identify the location of the rest of the units.

Gorilla Munch cereal is offered at Walmart, Más x Menos, AutoMercado and Cristal supermarkets.

Both the manufacturer Nature’s Path and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have published releases about this voluntary recall of cereals for possible contamination with gluten.

The specialists of the Ministry give the following recommendations to consumers:
