Overview
- Anvisa published a resolution on June 12, 2026 ordering the recall and suspension of all lots of Provatti-brand popcorn corn distributed by Kaza Distribuidora and R&A Indústria.
- Inspectors found the product label both claimed “does not contain gluten” and warned of wheat or cross-contamination, a contradiction that can mislead consumers.
- The agency cited Law No. 10.674/2003 and said that an absence-of-gluten claim is not allowed when the label also indicates presence or risk of gluten.
- The order halts commercialization, distribution, advertising and use of the product nationwide until the labeling irregularity is corrected and approved.
- Anvisa said the measure targets labeling only and not product quality, and the articles report no public response or relabeling timeline from the distributor or manufacturer, leaving the scale and timing of removals unclear.
