Kroger issues recall over possibly deadly products in 18 states
Products sold in Kroger stores in more than a dozen states have been recalled due to allergens and deadly bacteria. Health officials have issued two different recall notices this month for baked goods and bacon sold at Kroger, an Ohio-based chain with 2,800 stores nationwide. Earlier this month, Oscar Mayer issued a voluntary recall for its 12-ounce and 36-ounce Turkey Bacon products due to potential contamination with listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that causes foodborne illness listeria. While most of the 1,600 Americans who fall ill with listeria every year recover on their own, at-risk groups like pregnant women and immunocompromised people may suffer miscarriage, sepsis and seizures. Meanwhile, Lewis Bake Shop Artisan Style Half Loaf bread was recalled a few days later due to the potential presence of undeclared hazelnuts, which could cause severe reactions in the 1.6 million Americans with hazelnut allergies. All recalled products were sold in 18 states: Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Arkansas, Missouri, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, Virginia, North Carolina, West Virginia, Texas and Louisiana. Consumers for both recalls were urged to return products to the place of purchase for a full refund. No illnesses have been reported for either recall. Recalled Oscar Mayer products include 12-ounce packages of Oscar Mayer Turkey Bacon with the product code 71871-54860 and use-by dates of July 19, July 20, July 24, August 1, and August 2, 2025. The recalled 36-ounce packages are labeled with product code 71871-54874 and have use-by dates of July 29 and August 31, 2025. This recall affects Kroger stores in Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Ohio, Virginia, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, North Carolina, West Virginia, Texas and Louisiana. These products were found to potentially be contaminated with listeria. Listeria, also called Listeriosis, is a serious infection caused by eating food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. It can be found in moist environments, soil, water, decaying vegetation and animals, and can survive refrigeration and other food preservation measures. Many foods can harbor the bug, but it is usually found in unpasteurized milk, soft cheeses and ready-to-eat foods, such as prepacked sandwiches. Cooked shellfish, cured meats and fish, including sushi and pre-cut fruit, are also a risk. Most people who eat food contaminated with listeria will not become seriously ill. But in some cases, it can cause confusion and seizures, miscarriage in pregnant women, and even death. This can happen when the infection spreads beyond the gut and affects the central nervous system, which can lead to numbness and seizures. The CDC estimates 1,600 Americans become infected with listeria every year, and about 260 die. Meanwhile, the Lewis Bake Shop Artisan Style Half Loaf contaminated bread was sold in 12-ounce clear plastic bags with a July 13, 2025, expiration date printed on the front of the packaging and a UPC code 24126018152 printed on the bottom. The six affected lot codes are T10 174010206, T10 174010306, T10 174010406, T10 174020206, T10 174020306 and T10 174020406. All were distributed earlier this month.

Food allergies can lead to severe reactions such as anaphylaxis, which causes the immune system to release a flood of chemicals that send the body into shock. The FDA did an investigation and found out that a packaging error during a production changeover caused hazelnut-containing bread to be mislabeled as white bread.

Multi-State Recall Issued for Popular Bread Brand Due to Potential Serious Health Risk
Bread is a staple in many households. Shoppers at Kroger and Walmart need to check their loaves because one brand is under recall. For people with allergies, the issue is concerning. Food recalls are a serious concern. From hazardous materials to undeclared allergens, companies can voluntarily recall it. The goal is to remove potentially dangerous products from stores swiftly and FDA oversees these actions. While many brands voluntarily choose to alert consumers and take food items out of stores, the government organization alerts shoppers to maintain consumer confidence. On July 10, the FDA announced that Lewis Bake Shop, produced by Hartford Bakery, Inc., had an undeclared allergy in its Artisan Loaf. The bag did not alert consumers to potential hazelnuts in the bread. The loaves could cause possible serious health risks to some consumers who have a serious nut allergy. While the packaging did state, 'May Contain Tree Nuts,' it did not specify, 'Contains Hazelnuts.' For those consumers with this tree nut allergy, consuming this bread could cause an allergic reaction. Although no injury or illness have been reported, stores have alerted shoppers of the issue and removed the impacted products. Related: The Hartford Bakery Artisan loaves were sold in Kroger, Walmart and other local stores in Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Arkansas, Missouri, Alabama and Mississippi. Only select lots were impacted. Most breads had an expiration date of July 13, 2025. A complete list of recalled bread lots can be found on the FDA website. Kroger informed shoppers on their website. They listed the affected bags labeled as 'Lewis Artisan Bread' or 'Lewis Bakery Artisan Style Half Loaf Bread.' Walmart sold the bread under the same label. Both the stores and the company have made every effort to remove the impacted loaves from store shelves. Anyone who has this particular Hartford Bakery bread can return it to stores for a full Recall Issued for Popular Bread Brand Due to Potential Serious Health Risk first appeared on Men's Journal on Jul 14, 2025
