New Grains Gluten Free Bakery has recalled more than a dozen of its savoury and sweet items because they may contain eggs, milk and soy, which are not listed on their labels. The products, including bread, bagels, cookies and croutons, could cause life-threatening allergic reactions in people with sensitivities to these allergens.
The recalled items range from Artisan White Bread and Multigrain Bagels to Chocolate Chip Cookies and Brownie Chocolate Chip. Nine products contain undeclared eggs, two have both undeclared eggs and milk, and five contain undeclared eggs, milk and soy. All products bear a 'gluten-free' label and the New Grains brand label in various colours.
The affected items were distributed in retail stores in Utah between 7 and 21 April, with lot numbers 90–107. They were packaged in vacuum-sealed clear plastic bags (breads and croutons) or regular clear plastic bags (cookies).
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned that consuming these products poses a risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions. To date, no illnesses have been reported. Consumers are advised not to eat the products and to return them for a full refund. For inquiries, contact New Grains Gluten Free Bakery.
This recall follows an FDA upgrade of a separate recall of breads from Upper Crust Bakery LP due to possible glass fragments.
