37 Different Breads Recalled in the US: What to Know

By Ashley Turner

Dozens of types of bread have been recalled due to possible "microbial contamination" following an expanded Lyons Magnus recall from August. Piantedosi Baking Company, Inc. has voluntarily recalled select dinner rolls, sandwich rolls, and buns used in limited products made between March 21 and April 25. According to an  FDA announcement from Aug. 25, the Aug. 10 recall was due to the use of raw material in the production of dinner rolls, sandwich rolls, and buns made by the Golden Gloss glaze manufacturer. 

Lyons Magnus has recalled the raw material because of the potential for contamination with Cronobacter sakazakii and/or Clostridium botulinum. Piantedosi Baking Company, Inc. bread products have not been associated with any illnesses, and no pathogens have yet been found, the release stated. Still, the company is conducting this voluntary recall for customers' safety out of excess caution. Piantedosi Baking Company, Inc. has no other products containing Lyons Magnus raw material affected by this recall.
