BBU, Inc., the parent company of the Bimbo Bakeries companies, has initiated a voluntary regional recall of hamburger and hotdog rolls because the rolls may contain fragments of metal. The company said that the fragments were caused by a faulty manufacturing part at one North Carolina bakery, according to a Department of Defense All Food and Drug Activity message sent May 10th. ALFOODACT messages originate from the Defense Logistics Agency’s food safety office.
Recalled products are the fresh rolls with “Best By” dates (month and day) and UPC codes distributed in the states listed below. The recalled packages also contain the bakery code next to the printed ‘Best By’ date.
The brands involved in this recall are: Ballpark, Colonial, Great Value, Kerns, Kroger, Sara Lee, Sunbeam, and Foodservice.
These products were sold in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky. The ‘Best By’ dates were May 20th and May 21st.
The Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) has publicized this recall to all of its stores, Cecil Mitchell, supervisory consumer safety officer at DeCA headquarters in Fort Lee, Virginia said. Products are immediately removed from store shelves whenever a commissary issues a recall.
DeCA food safety officials are monitoring this recall for any updates.
