What’s the most remarkable thing about the not-food-in-your-food recall of Pillsbury Bread Rolls that might have glass: that it involved 735,840 cans or that the public didn’t learn about the June recall until this week?
For your discussion and decision information, here’s more on the recall by Pillsbury parent company General Mills.

Why are you just hearing about this now?
According to the FDA Enforcement Report, General Mills issued this recall on June 19, but issued no press release. Under “Initial Firm Notification of Consignee or Public,” the alert reads just “E-mail.”
The daily email with FDA Enforcement Report updates hit media mailboxes on Tuesday. This recall was included because the FDA had classified it as a Class II recall, meaning “use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.”
General Mills hasn’t responded to Herald emails how the glass got into some of the dough, what facility was used, if any product reached retail shelves and why no press release was issued.
