Santa Fe Bans ‘Gluten‑Free’ Dicomeré Instant Oats Over False Labeling

The ban follows findings of unsupported gluten‑free claims alongside invalid registration data.

Overview

  • The Santa Fe food‑safety agency Assal issued a consumer alert on November 10 and prohibited possession, transport, sale, and display of the product across the province.
  • The Dicomeré instant oats labeled “Sin Gluten” lacked required laboratory analyses and bore a nonexistent RNPA, indicating improper labeling.
  • Assal removed the product from circulation in the province and urged the public not to consume it, advising that its presence in stores be reported.
  • The agency warned that the unsupported gluten‑free claim presents a health risk for people with celiac disease.
  • Officials released identifiers to help trace the item, including brand Dicomeré, product name Avena instantánea, RNE 02-034707, EX 2024-44614582, and a listed address in Lanús, Buenos Aires.
