Bread sold in Kroger and Walmart was recalled in 12 states, including Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio
According to the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA), Hartford Bakery, Inc. has issued a voluntary recall of six lots of its “Lewis Bake Shop Artisan Style 1/2 Loaf” due to the presence of undeclared hazelnuts.
A company recalled bread that was sold in 12 states, including Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio.
The recall affects products distributed across several states, including the following, per the agency:
- Indiana
- Kentucky
- Ohio
The affected product was sold at retailers such as Kroger and Walmart, per the FDA’s notice.
The recall was initiated after the discovery that approximately 883 loaves from six production lots contained visible hazelnuts.
The packaging, which states “May Contain Tree Nuts,” failed to specify that it “Contains Hazelnuts.” An investigation revealed a packaging error, where a hazelnut-containing bread’s packaging was mistakenly used for the white bread product.
While no major injuries or illnesses have been reported, Hartford Bakery is aware of one customer who experienced digestive discomfort after consuming the product.
Additionally, the company received complaints from consumers who noticed the nuts before consumption.
