Exotique Foods is recalling its Veggie Chips after the product was found to potentially contain undeclared gluten — meaning the packaging does not warn consumers that gluten is present. Yahoo News reported the alert on August 21, 2026. Anyone with celiac disease who has purchased this product should stop eating it immediately.

What To Do If You Bought It
Stop eating the product immediately. Do not serve it to anyone with celiac disease or a wheat allergy. Return it to the store where you purchased it or discard it. For refund or contact information, check the Exotique Foods website or the official recall listing from your national food safety agency (the FDA in the U.S., the CFIA in Canada, or the FSA in the UK).
Why This Matters for Celiac Families
Undeclared gluten is one of the most dangerous situations for celiac families — not because it causes obvious illness in every case, but because even a symptom-free exposure causes real intestinal damage over time. A product labeled as safe, or simply not labeled as containing wheat, gives no warning before harm is done. As the dad of a son with celiac disease, snacks like veggie chips are exactly the kind of food I’d reach for without a second thought. That’s what makes undeclared allergen recalls so unsettling: the package itself looks fine.
This is also not an isolated pattern. We have covered similar recalls in recent months — Momchipz Veggie Chips were recalled over undeclared gluten earlier this year, and across the Atlantic, Marks & Spencer faced a yoghurt recall for the same reason. Veggie-style snacks and products with complex ingredient supply chains are repeatedly appearing in these notices. Until labeling enforcement catches up, checking recall databases regularly remains one of the most practical things celiac families can do.
If your child or family member with celiac has recently eaten Exotique Foods Veggie Chips and is experiencing symptoms, contact their gastroenterologist.
