A number of recalled bagel products made by a Utah-based company have been issued a Class I risk classification by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). New Grains Gluten Free Bakery issued a voluntary recall for a variety of its bagels and breads in May due to the potential undeclared presence of egg—a major food allergen. Newsweek contacted New Grains Gluten Free Bakery for comment via online contact form on Monday. Why It Matters A Class I recall is the highest risk level and is issued when there is a "reasonable probability" that the use of or exposure to a product could "cause serious adverse health consequences or death." The FDA announcement, posted on the FDA's website, warned that people who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to eggs "run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume these products." Eggs are one of the nine major food allergens as set out in law, which also include milk, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, and sesame. "Food allergic reactions vary in severity from mild symptoms involving hives and lip swelling to severe, life-threatening symptoms, often called anaphylaxis, that may involve fatal respiratory problems and shock," says the FDA. What To Know The company, based in Spanish Fork, Utah, issued a recall for four of types of bagels, all gluten free—plain, cinnamon raisin, blueberry, and multigrain. According to the FDA, 100 units of each type of bagel were affected. The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the products containing allergens, including eggs, were distributed with labels that did not reveal the presence of said allergens. Additionally, the company has recalled the following bread products due to the undeclared presence of egg: Artisan White Bread Artisan Multigrain Bread Artisan Sourdough Bread Artisan Cinnamon Raisin Bread A stock image of bread loaves. A stock image of bread products were distributed between April 4 and 21 under the lot numbers 90-107. The 32oz bread products were packaged in clear, vacuum-sealed plastic bags. A total of 250 units of each product were distributed to retail locations in Utah. The recall announcement said that no illnesses had been reported. What Happens Next The recall is listed as ongoing, according to the FDA. Consumers who have purchased the products are urged not to consume them and to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Separately, products from three different companies have been removed from shelves over the span of four days due to salmonella contamination fears, Newsweek reported on Friday.
