Major bread recall: 37 different breads were recalled – here’s the full list

Lyons Magnus issued a massive drink recall in mid-August after discovering that dozens of beverages might be contaminated with dangerous bacteria. The recall impacted other food products that used Lyons ingredients in their products. We saw a bread recall a few weeks ago tied to the Lyons action, and we now have a similar move from a different manufacturer. Piantedosi Baking Company issued a recall for 37 different types of bread because they include an ingredient that is part of the massive Lyons recall.

Piantedosi bread recall

The company recently announced the bread recall, mentioning that the action is connected directly to the aforementioned Lyons recall. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published the recall announcement at this link.

Piantedosi cited the Golden Gloss raw material from Lyons as the root cause of the recall. The company says it used the Golden Gloss glaze for a limited production between March 21st, 2022, and April 25th, 2022.

Even still, the Piantedosi bread recall includes dozens of different dinner rolls, sandwich rolls, and buns. They have different lot codes and expiration dates, as you’ll see in the tables at the end of this article.

The company said only the products on the list are included in the recall. It did not use the Lyons Magnus ingredient on other products in its catalog.

Cronobacter sakazakii and Clostridium botulinum infections

Cronobacter sakazakii is the bacteria that caused the Abbott baby formula recall in early 2022. Infections with Cronobacter are rare, however. Symptoms can include fever, vomiting, and urinary tract infection. Vulnerable patients, including those who are immunocompromised, might be more susceptible to more severe symptoms.

Separately, Clostridium botulinum might cause severe forms of food poisoning. Symptoms can appear within six hours after consuming food containing the bacteria. But they can take up to two weeks after the fact before they appear.

Double vision, blurred vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, and muscle weakness are the expected symptoms of these infections. Botulism can also lead to life-threatening complications. The bacteria can cause respiratory paralysis and death in rare cases.

That said, Piantedosi says it has not received any reports of illness. Moreover, it has not detected the pathogen in its bread products. Still, the company has issued the recall out of an abundance of caution.

What you should do

If you have any Piantedosi bread products from the recall in your pantry or freezer, you should avoid eating them. The company urges buyers to dispose of the products from the recall.

Again, you’ll have to check the complete product list below to see if the bread products you own are part of the recalled items.

Furthermore, the company instructs customers to contact Piantedosi if they have questions or to request a bread product replacement. We should note that the release does not mention refunds, however. You’ll find contact information in the official recall press release at this link.

Separately, customers should contact a medical professional if they think they’ve developed unusual symptoms after eating any recalled bread.

Full Piantedosi bread list

Piantedosi split the list of recalled bread products into two parts. The following products don’t expire until 2023, so there might be customers out there who purchased them recently.

The second table shows bread products from the Piantedosi recall that were no longer available in stores at the time of the recall. That means they’re past their expiration dates, but may still be frozen in customers’ homes.
