What we’re talking about: Almost 1.7 million pounds of sugar, including Target products, were recalled in eight states.
Why it matters: The recalled sugar may contain wheat kernel, an undeclared allergen.
What you should do: Return or throw away any recalled sugar, even if you can consume wheat.
Nearly 1.7 million pounds of sugar, including products sold at Target, have been recalled in eight states, the Food and Drug Administration announced (FDA).
United Sugar Producers and Refiners initially recalled the powdered and brown sugar products in late August because they may contain wheat kernel, an undisclosed allergen. On Sept. 21, the FDA gave the recall the second-highest risk level, Class II, for a low chance of serious health consequences from the contaminated sugar but a possibility of temporary or reversible effects.

What You Should Do
The FDA did not provide specific instructions, but as a Class II recall, the safest option is not to use the affected sugar—even if you don’t have a wheat allergy. Instead, toss or return the recalled sugar.
