Listed allergen indicated
This is not a safety clearance. Compare it with the current physical package.
For a child with a wheat allergy, Ezekiel Bread is not safe. The primary ingredient in Ezekiel Bread is sprouted wheat berries, which means it contains wheat. Even though it's made with whole grains, it is not a suitable option for someone avoiding wheat due to the direct presence of wheat in its composition.
Because wheat is a core ingredient, there is no way to prepare or consume Ezekiel Bread without exposing your child to wheat. It is crucial to avoid this product entirely to prevent an allergic reaction. Always check ingredient labels carefully, as even products marketed as 'healthy' or 'whole grain' can contain allergens.
