(I think one of the list members noted a problem with this product 
last November as well.)

 From the FDA food alert website:

Robert's American Gourmet Issues Allergy Alert on Undeclared Wheat in 
Wheat-Free Chaos Snack Mix

Contact:
Robert's American Gourmet
(516) 656-4545

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Sea Cliff, NY -- January 13, 2006 -- 
Robert's American Gourmet of Sea Cliff, NY is recalling 153 cases (12 
packages per case) of Robert's American Gourmet WHEAT FREE CHAOS 
Snack Mix as a precaution because a small number of packages may 
contain undeclared wheat (wheat pretzels). People who have an allergy 
or severe sensitivity to wheat run the risk of serious or 
life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.

Robert's American Gourmet WHEAT FREE CHAOS was distributed to 
distributors located in NJ, MA, CT, ME, NH, IN, CA, GA, and PA.

The product was sold in 6 oz. plastic bags with a "SELL BY DATE" 
MAR2806 (corresponds to March 28, 2006), and UPC # 15665 41025 5.

No illnesses have been reported to date.

The recall was initiated after it was discovered that some packages 
of the WHEAT FREE CHAOS actually contain wheat pretzels which were 
not listed on the label. Subsequent investigation indicates the 
problem was caused by a scheduling error at the manufacturing plant. 
Production was temporarily ceased and the problem has been corrected.

Consumers who have purchased Robert's American Gourmet WHEAT FREE 
CHAOS, GLUTEN FREE Snack Mix are urged to return it to the place of 
purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the 
company at 1-800-626-7557.

* Please remember some posters may be WHEAT-FREE, but not GLUTEN-FREE *
