Bread Recall Due to Glass Fragments Outside Loaves

Bimbo Bakeries USA announced it is initiating a voluntary regional recall of certain bread products at stores in Virginia.

Bread from the Sara Lee, Kroger, Nature’s Harvest, Great Value (Wal-mart) and L’Oven Fresh brands may have fragments of glass around the outside of the loaf but inside the packaging. Bimbo Bakeries said it is the result of a broken lightbulb in one of its bakeries.

The recall came about after Bimbo received three consumer reports of small pieces of glass around the outside of their bread.

The following products may have been affected and are being removed from shelves at stores in the state. The impacted products all contain the bakery code 1658:
