You asked what the 'dry ingredient' was which contained gluten and which was added to gluten free products made by Genius, and what Genius have done to prevent such an incident ever happening again.

However, you may wish to contact West Lothian Council at environmentalhealth@westlothian.gov.uk , who may be able to help you.
