You'd be surprised just how contentious a conversation about bagels can get. Sure, they might seem innocuous and like a relatively safe topic of discussion, but if you get the right people in the room, things can go south pretty quickly. Born and raised New Yorkers know a thing or two about where to get the best bagels and you better not even think about scooping out the insides like they do in LA. There are even rules about slicing, and according to some people the water in Jersey makes their bagels the best on the planet. Told you it was a minefield.

Regardless of how you like your bagel—toasted, schmeared with cream cheese, buttered, or topped with lox—there's no denying that it's one of the greatest grab-and-go breakfasts known to mankind. It's filling and satiating leaving and can easily go from sweet to savory without skipping a beat. No matter what side of the bagel spectrum you fall on, we can all agree, life's sweeter with one in hand.The only thing that could possibly make us put the carby wonders down for good is if, by some chance, the unassuming doughy breakfast companion turned out to be hazardous to our health and the health of those around us. Unfortunately, in the case of Utah-based bagel company New Grains Gluten Free Bakery, it looks like that just might be the case. According to a recent filing by the FDA, the recall was issued due to the undeclared presence of eggs in four varieties of gluten-free bagels—cinnamon raisin, plain, blueberry, and multigrain.
Approximately 100 units of each type were affected by the recall. The recall is listed as Class I, the highest threat level, due to the potential for serious and life-threatening allergic reactions if consumed by someone with an egg allergy. In addition to the bagels, the brand also included artisan white bread, multigrain bread, sourdough, and cinnamon raisin bread in the recall due to the same labeling issue.
The products were distributed between April 4 and 21 under lot numbers 90-107 and were packaged in clear, vacuum-sealed plastic bags. A total of 250 units of each product were distributed to retail locations in Utah, so it seems that the recall is relatively insulated for now. While there have been no reported injuries or illnesses, it's best to avoid consumption if you happen to have purchased one of the affected products. Of course, yours truly isn't allergic to eggs, so I'll make sure to eat one for the both of us bestie.The FDA Just Upgraded a Recall On This Popular Breakfast Item To The Highest Level—Here's What to Know first appeared on Parade on Jun 3, 2025
