FDA recalls bread that could contain ‘glass fragments’

• The FDA is recalling bread that was found to have glass fragments on top of the rolls. Three kinds of bread from Upper Crust Bakery were impacted by the recall. The rolls were sold in Pennsylvania, California, Connecticut, Maryland, Delaware, and Ohio.

The Food and Drug Administration is warning bread lovers to avoid a variety of bread rolls, as they could contain fragments of glass.

Upper Crust Bakery has recalled three types of rolls following the discovery of the threat. The rolls were sold in Pennsylvania, California, Connecticut, Maryland, Delaware, and Ohio.

All totaled, more than 800 cases were included in the recall. No injuries have been reported so far.

Consumers who have already bought the bread are advised to discard it or return it for a refund.

The bread types included in the recall are:

• Ancient Grains Hoagie roll in 4-ounce containers, recall number: F-0741-2025 in Lot #90
• Multigrain Sourdough rolls in 18-ounce containers, recall number: F-0742-2025 in Lot #90
• Whole Grain Multigrain rolls in 20-ounce containers, recall number: F-0743-2025 in Lot #92

The sourdough rolls made up the majority of the recall, spanning 699 cases. All of the rolls were sold as frozen products.

Food recalls are becoming more and more common. A report from Sedgwick Brand Protection reported that the number of recalls in 2023 were the highest in five years, and 2024's count was the second highest in six years, with both years surpassing 3,200 cases.

Meanwhile, cutbacks at the FDA have included lab scientists who test food samples for contamination, and communication specialists who alert the public to urgent safety recalls. The agency, though, says there have been no cuts to scientific reviewers or inspectors or law enforcement.
