A gluten-free organic sourdough is being recalled by the manufacturer.
Because the product could still contain traces of gluten.
This can have serious consequences for certain people.
Bremen - A gluten-free diet is actually only a must for those who suffer from celiac disease - which affects around 10 to 12 percent of all Germans.
In the past few years, the renunciation of the so-called “gluten-free protein”, which occurs in many types of grain, has nonetheless developed into a trendy lifestyle.
Because with a steadily growing range of replacement products, there is a lot on offer for gourmets and connoisseurs.
However, extreme caution should be exercised with one of these articles.
Because an organic manufacturer has to start a recall for a gluten-free sourdough - because it may not be gluten-free at all.

Organic sourdough recalled: Gluten intolerance can have serious consequences
Gluten intolerance is not to be trifled with.
Accidental consumption of gluten can lead to inflammation of the small intestine, which can lead to diarrhea and vomiting, but also depression and fatigue.
Although the symptoms are not equally severe for everyone with the disease, there is still no cure for the autoimmune disease.
The only remedy is the, often very expensive, gluten-free special products.
Recently, herbs found to be contaminated had to be recalled.
Due to the danger of salmonella, however, eggs also had to be removed from the market.
