Abstract
In a targeted survey of 196 prepackaged infant cereals, none were found positive for soy or gluten. Samples included single and mixed grain, as well as flavoured infant cereals. Undeclared allergens in food may represent a serious or life-threatening health risk for allergic or sensitive individuals. Follow-up actions were not deemed necessary given that none of the samples were positive for soy or gluten.
