A voluntary recall of select bread products was placed in effect by Bimbo Bakeries USA this past week, including those under the famous Sara Lee brand. The reason for the recall is because of broken glass fragments possibly in the bread.

The company issued a press release announcing their decision for the recall, which affects as many as 11 states. Some of the states include Florida, Ohio, and Kentucky. In addition to Sara Lee, products also included in the recall are under the Nature’s Harvest, Kroger, Great Value, and L'Oven Fresh brands.
The recall was issued after receiving three complaints of having found pieces of glass on the outside of the bread but inside the packaging.
