Urgent product recall issued after glass fragments found in everyday essential
Upper Crust Bakery LP is recalling over 800 cases of three types of its bread after the discovery of the sharp objects was made, according to a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) notice.
Affected items include 699 cases of 18-ounce Multigrain Sourdough, 89 cases of 4-ounce Ancient Grains Hoagie Roll, and 30 cases of 20-ounce Whole Grain Multigrain, all frozen and in paper cartons.
The reason stated for the recall is 'glass fragment found on top of bread'.
On Friday, the FDA designated the recall as Class II, meaning there is a relatively low chance of major injuries or death, but the possibility of serious effects with irreversible consequences.
Upper Crust Bakery, based in Glenn Dale, Maryland, first initiated the voluntary recall on April 12.
The affected bread was distributed to stores in six US states: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Both the Multigrain Sourdough and Ancient Grains Hoagie Roll have the lot number 90, while the Whole Grain Multigrain has the lot number 92.
The FDA urges customers to not eat the bread and discard it or return it for a refund. More Trending
It was not known if anyone reported health issues related to consuming the bread.
The recall was initiated 10 days after Hearthside Food Solutions LLC recalled more than 489,800 pounds of its ready-to-eat sausage and bacon breakfast sandwiches because they contained an undeclared allergen, sesame.
And in mid-March, Idaho Smokehouse Partners LLC recalled roughly 29,500 pounds of ready-to-eat beef sticks after complaints that metal pieces were found in the meat. Around the same time, Karma Sauce Company LLC recalled more than 50,000 bottles of its Hot Ones brand hot sauce over fears that they could contain plastic.

Urgent recall issued for cookie sold at Target
A major recall has been issued for packs of Favorite Day Bakery Frosted Sugar Cookies sold at Target after fears they could contain pieces of wood. Give and Go pulled the treats on July 22, affecting 803 cases — more than 12,000 cookies — shipped to three distribution centers in Ohio, Connecticut and Maryland. The products, sold in 10-packs with Lot number 251915, were sent to Target stores in 21 states , including New York, Massachusetts, Michigan and Virginia. The Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) said it was a 'Class II' recall — initiated when products could cause temporary or medically reversible health effects. Target has yanked all affected packs from shelves and its website, urging shoppers to toss them or contact customer service for a refund. It's unclear if any consumers reported seeing wood in their cookies. The recall follows a string of food safety scares. Ada Valley Meat Company pulled more than 1,000 pounds of cooked ground beef over fears of metal contamination. Meanwhile, nearly 18,000 tubs of Blue Bunny and Halo Top ice cream were recalled after plastic pieces were found inside. Summer essentials have also been recalled over the last few months. A recall was issued for 192,000 KidKraft Farm to Table play kitchens on July 31 because they are a strangulation risk to kids. Regulators found the product caused the death of a 23-month-old in Oregon two years ago. More than 3.6 million hoses were recalled earlier that month following 222 reports of hoses bursting, causing 29 injuries — including bruises, two sprained bones and five cases of temporary hearing loss. Meanwhile, five million above-ground swimming pools were recalled after a design flaw was linked to nine child drownings.

Along with these summertime essentials, there have been scores of recalls by automakers — including Chrysler, Volkswagen and General Motors. Kia is one of the latest to recall vehicles after the South Korean automaker discovered parts would fly out mid-drive. Blaming it on 'supplier quality issues,' more than 300,000 automobiles were part of the recall.

In Trump's America, vaccination rates are declining and measles is spreading
New data from the CDC suggests a grim back-to-school tradition emerging: in 2024, kindergarten vaccination rates declined for the fifth consecutive year. Meanwhile, vaccine exemptions reached a record high. These statistics became all the more disturbing last fall when, shortly after 286,000 children began their educations without proof of full immunity against measles, a man who has bragged about never getting a flu shot was re-elected to the presidency. Since then, the US has contended with its largest measles outbreak in three decades, while the leaders who should be stamping out this crisis are instead fanning the flames. In just eight months, Trump and Robert F Kennedy Jr, secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, have made every effort to undermine one of the major civilizing advances of the 20th century – our public health infrastructure. In doing so, they risk endangering millions of people and kickstarting a doom loop of mistrust from which it could take decades to recover. As usual, the Trump administration's stance on vaccines is motivated less by sincere populism and more by personal profit. Before Kennedy launched his own presidential campaign on a platform of 'making America healthy again', he earned $20,000 every week helming a non-profit dedicated to fostering vaccine skepticism. Now in the cabinet, he has fired the entire CDC vaccine advisory panel and replaced them with a ragtag crew, half of whom have never published peer-reviewed research on vaccines. Just last week, Kennedy cancelled $500m of federal funding for mRNA vaccines, which prevented 14m deaths during the Covid-19 pandemic. And he has made these rollbacks while retaining a financial stake in ongoing litigation against a vaccine manufacturer. All the while, the US has seen more than 1,300 measles cases and three deaths this year. In response, Kennedy has alternately endorsed and undermined the most effective method of prevention – widespread immunization. The evisceration of funding has extended across the sciences, with Trump cutting support for research to a 35-year nadir. At the National Institutes of Health, 1,800 grants have been terminated, a move that the Government Accountability Office deemed illegal. The administration also continues to freeze grants to universities over culture war phantasms like DEI, including $339m at UCLA and $2.2bn at Harvard. So it's not surprising that 75% of US scientists polled by the journal Nature are considering leaving the country, which raises the prospect of a lost generation of American talent and lifesaving innovation. Internationally, Trump's heartless and thoughtless budget cuts are causing devastation. The administration has dismantled USAID, one of the most successful preventers of contagious disease in history. In doing so, it defunded programs that vaccinated more than 800 million children against fatal illnesses like malaria. Researchers have found that 300,000 people have already died because of these cuts, which could lead to another 14m preventable deaths over the next five years – all to gut an agency that managed the equivalent of 4% of the annual national defense budget. Back in the US, medical associations, local officials and individual doctors are collaborating to buy vaccines directly from manufacturers and lobbying insurance companies to continue covering the costs of those shots. Their efforts reflect a tried-and-true strategy to counter under-immunization. Before the current outbreak, Ronald Reagan-era cuts to public health caused a more widespread measles pandemic, with 27,000 cases in just 1990. But locally led outreach campaigns and grassroots vaccination programs turned back the crisis, as did an eventual restoration of federal funds under Bill Clinton's administration. Budget cuts can be reversed, but trust may be more difficult to recover. Long before RFK Jr's ascendancy, disasters like the CDC's infamous Untreated Syphilis Study at Tuskegee and the Food and Drug Administration's glacial response to the Aids crisis cast long shadows over public health institutions. Today, a plurality of Americans are already predicting they will lose faith in medical guidance under the current administration. That would undermine the very basis of public health, which depends on people choosing to follow guidelines grounded in research they did not personally conduct and whose results they are ill-trained to parse. Repairing that breach will require years of effortful relationship-building, but it might also require rallying Americans with the classic tactic of patriotism. For all of Trump's bellicose rhetoric, he misses that our nation's most extraordinary scientific and medical advances have drawn bipartisan enthusiasm in part because they reinforced a perceived American exceptionalism. At the height of the cold war, RFK Jr's uncle chose to go to the moon, and Richard Nixon brought that dream to fulfilment. After Franklin Delano Roosevelt founded the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, Americans helped fund it by mailing in more than 2.5m dimes, hence its christening as the March of Dimes. That money supported Jonas Salk's development of the polio vaccine. Within two years of its introduction, annual cases of polio had fallen by 90%. Even Trump, who botched the initial response to Covid-19, managed to oversee the historic Operation Warp Speed. If only he could recognize that this is the kind of achievement which makes America great.
