EatingWell's Editorial Guidelines Close Photo: Getty Images Brown lentils sold at Walmart are being recalled nationwide in Canada, according to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. This is due to an undeclared wheat allergen in the product. The Sitara branded brown lentils affected by this recall were sold in 1.81-kg plastic packages with a printed UPC 6 28915 56114 2. This product is being recalled because wheat is not written on the label and it may contain the common allergen. A consumer reported experiencing a reaction from these lentils, and the CFIA is currently investigating other products that may be affected, which may lead to future recalls. Check your pantry for these packaged lentils. If you have the above product and are allergic or sensitive to gluten, the CFIA recommends disposing of it as soon as possible or returning to its place of purchase. Those with a wheat or gluten allergy like celiac disease may experience symptoms like hives, nausea, stomach cramps, headaches and, in more severe cases, anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis symptoms occur suddenly and can progress quickly, so if you’re experiencing dizziness, rapid heartbeat, tightness of the throat or you’re having trouble breathing, call 911 immediately. For questions about this recall, call the CFIA’s toll-free number at 1-800-442-2342 or email information@inspection.gc.ca.
