United Sugar wheat contamination recall

Overview

United Sugar Producers and Refiners initiated a voluntary recall of approximately 1.7 million pounds of light brown and powdered sugar due to potential wheat kernel contamination. The affected products include brands such as United, Good & Gather, and Crystal Sugar.

The recall impacts various packaging sizes, including 2-pound bags of Target’s Good & Gather brand, 25-pound bags of Crystal Sugar powdered sugar, and 50-pound bags of United light brown and powdered sugar. Distribution spans eight U.S. states: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas.

The FDA classified the situation as a Class II recall, noting that while the contamination poses risks to those with wheat allergies—such as hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing—the probability of serious health consequences is considered remote. Consumers are advised to check specific batch and lot numbers to identify affected items.
