THOMASVILLE, GA — Flowers Foods is voluntarily recalling 3,000 loaves of Nature’s Own Honey Wheat bread sold in six states due to the presence of undeclared milk.
The products being recalled were potentially distributed to retail customers in Arizona; Colorado; New Mexico; Wyoming; the cities of Blythe, Brawley, Calexico, Calipatra, El Centro, Needles, and Westmoreland, CA; the city of Laughlin, NV; and to one wholesale distributor in California serving Mexico. The packages have either a blue or yellow tie closure and a “Best If Used By” date of Dec. 26, 2021, and product codes 128 346 03:00 through 128 346 05:00 printed on the package.
The recall was initiated after the discovery that loaves of Nature’s Own Buttermilk, which contains milk, were inadvertently packaged in the honey wheat bread packaging, which does not include milk in the ingredient statement. No related illnesses or incidents have been reported, but people who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.
Consumers are being told to discard the affected product or return it to the place or purchase for a full refund.
