Wheat-free Power Pancakes Recalled for Containing 1% Wheat

Phil’s Power Pancake of Costa Mesa, CA is recalling its 5 oz. packages of individually wrapped Power Pancakes in all 5 varieties (Mango, Raspberry, Cranberry, Dates, and Chocolate Chip Hempseed) because they may contain undeclared wheat.  All 5 varieties of pancakes contain rye flour that contains 1% wheat. Labels on the product distributed state “wheat free” and new labels will read “99% wheat free”.

1) That 1% present does not allow one to say 'free' from that.
2) Power pancakes are a thing.....just have to douse them with plenty of maple syrup I guess to get them to slide on down.
