SACRAMENTO – Dr. Ron Chapman, director of the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and state health officer, has warned consumers with wheat allergies not to eat six varieties of AVO’s Bakery Inc. products.

Five products are Gourmet Sesame Plain, Date Mamoul, Gourmet French, Gourmet Anise Plain and Sea Salted Cookies Sticks Gourmet Cookies. The sixth is Avo’s Bread Crumbs product.

AVO’s Bakery of Burbank, Calif., is voluntarily recalling the products, which were sold primarily at local retail markets in Southern California.

The Feb. 26, 2014, best-by date is printed on a sticker on the label.
