From Gluten Free Watchdog:

Last week Gluten Free Watchdog tested Aussie Bites. They tested well above 20 parts per million of gluten. The best by date for the product tested by Gluten Free Watchdog is 6/16/24. We alerted both GFCO (the certifying organization) and the manufacturer. Today, GFCO issued a safety alert for this product (08/01/24 BEF2 113 04 24). Please note that the two best by dates are different. It is the recommendation of Gluten Free Watchdog that you not eat this product. Gluten Free Watchdog has moved the report for this product to the public side of the website.
