FDA Recalls Bread Across the U.S. Due to ‘Glass Fragments Found'
Over 800 cases of bread are being recalled after 'glass fragments' were discovered.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently categorized the incident as a Class II recall.
Here's how to tell if your bread is included in the recall and what to do.
Before you make your next sandwich, be sure to check your freezer or your breadbox. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced yet another food recall, this time for various bread products distributed across several states. The recall was initiated on April 12 but has now been classified as a Class II recall as of April 25.
The products from Upper Crust Bakery LP were recalled after 'glass fragment' was 'found on top of bread,' according to the FDA. The affected products were distributed in Pennsylvania, California, Connecticut, Maryland, Delaware, and Ohio. 89 cases of hoagies, 699 cases of sourdough bread, and 30 cases of whole grain bread varieties are included in the recall. The specific bread products included in the recall are:
Ancient Grains Hoagie Roll (4 0z. container): Lot #90
Multigrain Sourdough (18 oz. container): Lot #90
Whole Grain Multigrain (20 oz. container): Lot #92
All affected products were sold frozen and packaged in paper cartons. Shoppers should look for the packaging code CP45 on Upper Crust Bakery Ancient Grains Hoagie Roll and the packaging code CP12 on the Multigrain Sourdough and Whole Grain Multigrain varieties. If you believe you have impacted product, do not eat it.
After evaluating the risk these products pose to consumers, the FDA classified this recall as Class II, meaning that use of the products 'may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences,' or that 'the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.'
However, accidentally ingesting glass is no small matter. 'Chewing glass can cut the mouth. If a big piece of glass or one with sharp edges is swallowed, it can cause injury to the throat and gut,' according to Poison Control. 'Symptoms may include chest or abdominal pain, blood in stool, bloated abdomen, and fever.' If you believe you have consumed glass fragments, be sure to contact your physician immediately.
If you believe you have bread affected by the recall, best practice is to not consume it.

FDA Reveals Which Kinds of Eggs May Be Contaminated with Salmonella
In a June news release, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration revealed that "brown cage-free and brown certified organic eggs" from the August Egg Company have "the potential" to be contaminated with salmonella. The outlet added that the eggs were "sold under multiple different brand names at restaurants and retailers" and should "no longer be available for sale." Those brands are Clover, First Street, Nuaid, O Organics, Marketside, Raleys, Simple Truth, Sun Harvest, and Sunnyside. According to People, over 1.7 million eggs have been recalled in nine states: California, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Wyoming, New Mexico, Nebraska, Indiana, and Illinois. On June 6, 2025, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed they were investigating the "multi-state outbreak of salmonella infections." Mayo Clinic states that while some people with salmonella may have no symptoms, most experience a range of symptoms, like abdominal cramps, within 8 to 72 hours. "In some cases, diarrhea can cause severe dehydration and requires prompt medical attention. Life-threatening complications also may develop if the infection spreads beyond the intestines. The risk of getting salmonella infection is higher with travel to countries without clean drinking water and proper sewage disposal." At this time, 21 people have been hospitalized due to infection, according to the FDA. In a statement, the August Egg Company shared, "We believe it is appropriate out of an abundance of caution to conduct this voluntary recall, as consumers may still have these eggs in their homes. It is important to know that when our processing plant identified this concern, we immediately began diverting all eggs from the plant to an egg-breaking facility, which pasteurizes the eggs and kills any pathogens." The company concluded, "We are committed to addressing this matter fully and to implementing all necessary corrective actions to ensure this does not happen again."FDA Reveals Which Kinds of Eggs May Be Contaminated with Salmonella first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 7, 2025

Food recall: Brown eggs sold at grocery stores across California have salmonella risk
A California company is recalling 1.7 million cartons of brown eggs — sold at stores including Walmart in nine states including California — because the eggs may be contaminated with salmonella bacteria. August Egg Company of Hilmar is recalling 1,700,000 dozen brown cage-free and brown certified organic eggs for potential salmonella risk. The eggs were distributed over the last four months, some with sell by dates as late as June 19, according to the recall notice from the Food and Drug Administration. The eggs are linked to an ongoing Salmonella Enteritidis outbreak in seven states, in which 79 people have been sickened and at least 21 hospitalized, but no deaths have been reported, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Most of the people sickened (63) live in California, according to the CDC. Nevada and Washington reported four illnesses each, with additional cases in Arizona (3), New Jersey (2), Nebraska (2), Kentucky (1). Ill people in Kentucky, New Jersey, and Washington reported traveling to California and Nevada before they got sick. Most of those sickened (90%) reported eating eggs, the CDC said. Some samples taken by the FDA during an inspection at August Egg Company's processing facility tested positive for the strain of salmonella similar to those related to the persons sickened in the outbreak, the CDC said. August Egg Co. said its internal food safety team is conducting its own investigation to "identify what measures can be established to prevent this situation from recurring," the company said in a statement accompanying the recall. 'It is important to know that when our processing plant identified this concern, we immediately began diverting all eggs from the plant to an egg-breaking facility, which pasteurizes the eggs and kills any pathogens."

Severe infections can also include aches, headaches, elevated fever, lethargy, rashes, and blood in the urine or stool. Salmonella poisoning, also known as salmonellosis, is a common gastrointestinal infection in California, with about 5,000 confirmed cases annually, according to the California Department of Public Health. The Centers for Disease Control estimates that around 3,000 people die from a foodborne illness, and of those about 420 people die from Salmonella infections.
