3 Kinds of Bread Have Been Recalled in 6 States

If you have a hard time passing the supermarket bakery section without sliding a loaf inside a paper bag or asking the deli department to make you a sub, don’t feel too guilty for enjoying your carbs. When you go for whole grain, bread can be a great way to get your daily fiber allowance.

But the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently announced a recall concerning a major bread maker—and it’s one that possibly sells to a supermarket or convenience store you frequent.

Last Friday, the FDA informed the public about a recall of 818 total cases of three bread products connected to Upper Crust Bakery LP in Glenn Dale, MD: Ancient Grains Hoagie Rolls, Multigrain Sourdough, and Whole Grain Multigrain.

Based on an address cross-reference, the actual manufacturer of the recalled products appears to be Crest Hill Bakery, which “produces artisan handcrafted bread” for both major food retailers and wholesalers (companies that buy large quantities of a product from manufacturers before reselling them to the retailers). Crest Hill does not provide additional information regarding which companies they partner with, but all three recalled products are listed on Crest Hill’s website.

“Glass fragment found on top of bread” is the named catalyst behind the recall. Though the glass fragments issue certainly sounds concerning, the FDA has categorized the event as a Class II, meaning the agency believes the products will likely only cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health effects if consumed.

It is not clear whether any injuries have been reported, or how the issue was first discovered.

Crest Hill Bakery’s website says they offer private labeling, meaning companies they work with can choose a brand name to market the products under. It’s possible the recalled products were sold under the brand name Upper Crust Bakery (or perhaps a different brand name), but it is not clearly stated by the report.

The reported product details are:

Ancient Grains Hoagie Rolls, frozen

• 4 ounces (oz.)
• Lot # 90
• Distributed in paper carton (corrugated)
• 89 cases recalled

Multigrain Sourdough, frozen

• 18 ounces (oz.)
• Lot # 90
• Distributed in paper carton (corrugated)
• 699 cases recalled

Whole Grain Multigrain, frozen

• 20 ounces (oz)
• Lot # 92
• Distributed in paper carton (corrugated)
• 30 cases recalled

The three bread products were distributed in these six states: Pennsylvania, California, Connecticut, Maryland, Delaware, and Ohio.

The information “CP12” was also included with the Whole Grain Multigrain and Multigrain Sourdough product details, as well as “CP45” with the Ancient Grains Hoagie Rolls. Though this could be information about how many items are in each case or carton, this detail seems unclear from the report.

Consumers can report any adverse health effects regarding this recall—or others—via the FDA’s MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting Program.
