Urgent product recall issued after glass fragments found in everyday essential
A food staple – bread – has been recalled after glass fragments were found on the top surface of some loaves. 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 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.

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.
