Major Bread Recall Escalates to Highest Safety Risk Level Nationwide
A significant bread recall affecting gluten-free bakery products has been elevated to Class I status – the most serious risk classification issued by food safety regulators.
The expanded recall, initially issued in February 2024, now includes additional products from New Grains Gluten Free Bakery after testing revealed potential contamination risks.
What Products Are Affected by the Recall?
The FDA has identified these recalled items by specific production dates:
- Gluten Free Rosemary Artisan Boule (sold in 14 oz packages)
- Gluten Free Original Sandwich Bread (12 oz packages)
- Gluten Free Seeded Sandwich Bread (12 oz packages)
All potentially contaminated products bear establishment number "EST. 46262" inside the USDA mark of inspection.
Why This Recall Was Upgraded to High Risk
The recall was escalated to Class I status because consuming these products may lead to:
- Serious adverse health consequences
- Potential long-term health effects
- Life-threatening conditions in vulnerable populations
What Consumers Should Do
If you have purchased these products:
- Check your pantry for recalled items matching the descriptions
- Do not consume any potentially affected products
- Return items to the place of purchase for a full refund
- Monitor for symptoms if you've already consumed the bread
