Double-check before you make that sandwich: multiple bread recalls were issued earlier in December. Flowers Foods, Inc. announced a recall of Nature’s Own Honey Wheat bread on Dec. 17, and Bosket Bread Company announced a recall of 15 bread products on Dec. 18. Both recalls were for the same reason – undeclared allergens. These announcements come as many in the U.S. gather for the holiday meals, meaning this recall is urgent for those in affected areas.
Flowers Foods recalled about 3,000 loaves of Nature’s Own Honey Wheat bread sold in six states due to undeclared milk used in the loves. The recall comes after Flowers Foods received reports that loaves of Nature’s Own Butterbread were packed in Honey Wheat packaging. While Honey Wheat bread does not include milk as an ingredient, so its packaging does not list milk as an ingredient. No illnesses or incidents related to the mistake have been reported yet. However, consumers with an allergy or sensitivity to milk can have a serious or life-threatening reaction if they consume the bread.
