Listmates,
Yesterday I purchased Mystic Lake Dairy banana muffins, which are gluten
free, from Nature's (a Wild Oats store) in Beaverton, Oregon. After
eating one this morning for breakfast, I noticed with horror that there
were blueberries in the muffins. The package was mislabeled! Although
the label says banana, in fact, they are blueberry muffins which DO
CONTAIN GLUTEN. I confirmed this by phone with Mystic Lake Dairy, who
said they knew of the problem! Apparently they have not contacted any
of the retail stores about this. I contacted Nature's in Beaverton to
advise them. They were unaware of the mislabeling and said the product
would be pulled from the shelf. I next called Food for Life in
California. Food for Life makes and packages the product for Mystic
Lake Dairy. The customer service rep I spoke with was very apologetic
and said she would immediately let quality control know. My call was
the first they had heard of the problem. I advised Food for Life that I
would post this to the list.
Sometimes even reading the label isn't enough. For me, I guess one
answer is to slow down and stop eating on auto-pilot! Anyway, if you
have any of these muffins, or plan to purchase them, it would be a good
idea to inspect them as best you can before eating.
