Bread sold at Kroger and Walmart in a dozen states is under recall for ‘life-threatening' problem
An Artisan-style breed sold in 12 states at popular retailers, such as Kroger and Walmart, has been recalled due to potential hazelnut contamination, the FDA says. Hartford Bakery Inc. recalled its Lewis Bake Shop Artisan Style half-loaf bread after an internal packaging error resulted in visible hazelnuts, an undeclared allergen, in some loaves. About 883 units from six production lots were mistakenly wrapped and labeled merely as 'May Contain Tree Nuts,' without specifying hazelnuts. The contamination stems from a packaging changeover from a hazelnut-containing bread batch to the white loaf variant, the company said. The recalled bread was distributed across 12 states, including Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Arkansas, Missouri, Alabama and Mississippi. The company, headquartered in West Hartford, Connecticut, issued a recall for its 'Lewis Bake Shop Artisan Style 1/2 Loaf' on July 10, according to the FDA. The company warns that "people with a nut allergy or severe sensitivity to hazelnuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions" if they consume the bread. The bread is packaged in a flexible plastic bag and can be identified by lot codes T10 174010206, T10 174010306, T10 174010406, T10 174020206, T10 174020306 and T10 174020406, which appear on the front panel. The packaging also includes a net weight of 12 oz, a UPC of 24126018152 on the bottom and an expiration date of 07/13/2025 displayed on the front panel. Hartford Bakery said it had removed all products linked to the six affected production lots. The bakery had received complaints about visible nuts and reports one case of digestive discomfort, but no serious injuries or illnesses have been reported. Consumers who have purchased the affected product are being urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Solve the daily Crossword

Popular yogurt recalled over possible choking hazard
A popular yogurt brand has issued a voluntary recall due to the potential presence of plastic pieces. Danone U.S. recalled all of its YoCrunch products currently available on the market Friday after customers reported plastic pieces in the dome toppers, which hold various sweet treats such as Oreos or M&M's. Sharp-edged plastic pieces could be a choking hazard or pose other risks. The recall does not apply to the yogurt itself, but only to the yogurt topping container. Many lot numbers and expiration dates are involved in the recall, spanning from July 7 through September 4. The full list of affected products can be found here. No injuries or illnesses have currently been reported, and Danone is working alongside the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). There are currently no reported illnesses or injuries (YoCrunch) 'The company is working swiftly with retail partners to remove the impacted product from shelves, while it works to address the issue and bring back the YoCrunch products so many people enjoy,' the company said in a press release. Customers who have purchased any of the recalled products are urged not to consume them and to contact YoCrunch's Customer Care Line using the phone number 1-877-344-4886.

The packaging also includes a net weight of 12 oz, a UPC of 24126018152 on the bottom, and an expiration date of 07/13/2025 displayed on the front panel. The last two years have seen an alarming and unexplained rise in recalls. In 2024, approximately 300 food recalls were issued, with those recalls being linked to nearly 1,400 illnesses, a Public Interest Research Group report revealed. Out of the 1,400 illnesses, 487 people became sick enough to require hospitalization, and 19 people died. While those numbers are still low when weighed against the entire U.S. population, they are also double the number of hospitalizations and deaths from foodborne illnesses in 2023.
