Questions people ask

Why is wheat in these peppers?

The recall record states there is an undeclared wheat allergen, but does not explain why wheat is present.

How can I check if my peppers are affected?

Do I need to stop using these peppers?

The recall does not specify a stop-use action, so consumers can continue using them if they do not have wheat allergies.
