Minton & Donello Organic White Orzo Recalled Over Undeclared Wheat

Minton & Donello Organic White Orzo contains wheat, but the affected packaging does not identify it on the label or ingredients list. Dundeis UK has issued a recall in England and Wales, with three best-before dates covered.

What’s Affected

• Product: Minton & Donello Organic White Orzo
• Pack size: 500g
• Batch code: 78850
• Best before: 31 January 2027, 2 May 2027 or 24 May 2027

What You Should Do

If you have a wheat or gluten allergy or intolerance, or coeliac disease, do not eat the affected orzo. Take it back to the shop where you bought it for a full refund.

Why the Ingredients List Matters

Orzo is a rice-shaped pasta, and this product contains wheat. The recall concerns wheat missing from both the label and the ingredients list on the back. A shopper should not have to infer an allergen from a product's shape or name, especially when selecting food for coeliac disease or a wheat allergy.

The government’s allergen-labelling guidance explains that allergenic ingredients in prepacked food must be clearly identified. The missing declaration removes information shoppers use to make that choice.

One Batch With Three Best-Before Dates

All three dates in the notice are attached to batch 78850. Check the batch as well as the date on each 500g pack, including any decanted into a storage jar. If you kept the original packaging, it can help establish whether the contents are affected. If the orzo was used in food made for someone avoiding wheat or gluten, let them know about the recall and retain the pack details.
