Publix has issued an urgent recall of its garlic knot rolls as they may pose a health risk to customers with certain allergies.
In an official notice posted on the grocer’s website, certain 12 packs of garlic knot rolls that don’t list egg in the allergen statement have been recalled. The rolls pose a health risk to customers who have an egg allergy but don’t see the ingredient listed in the allergen statement.
Recalled packs can be identified with the GTIN 29682800000.
Customers who purchased the garlic knot rolls before March 31 can either throw them away or return them to a Publix store for a refund. No other Publix products have ben affected, and no illnesses have been reported.
“As part of our commitment to food safety, potentially impacted product has been removed from all store shelves,” said Maria Brous, Publix director of communications.
Shoppers with who have additional questions or concerns can contact Publix Customer Care at (800) 242-1227.
Egg is identified as one of the nine major food allergies in the U.S., along with wheat, soy, eggs, fish, Crustacean shellfish, milk, peanuts and sesame. Allergic reactions to these nine foods vary but can range from hives and lip swelling to severe, life-threatening symptoms, often called anaphylaxis, that may involve fatal respiratory problems and shock.
The Publix recall is just the latest in a slew of recent issues to hit consumers.
Schreiber Foods, Inc., based in Green Bay, Wisconsin, is recalling 144 cups of its Honey Almond Cream Cheese Spread for Einstein Bros. Bagels, the FDA announced in March.
The six-ounce spreads were incorrectly labeled as “Plain,” meaning that anyone who has an allergy or severe sensitivity to almonds runs the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the product.
The affected spreads — which can be identified by the Best If Used By date of Jul 21, 2026 — were distributed to Einstein Bros. Bagel locations in Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Wyoming.
Meanwhile, pizza and bread sold in 10 states have been recalled over concerns that metal shards may be found in the products.
Bakkavor, a North Carolina-based company that is recalling the products, found metal fragments in “various bread products,” according to the FDA.
The company determined the cause to be “roasted tomatoes provided by one of their ingredient suppliers,” the agency said.
Recalled products were distributed to Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, North Carolina, New Jersey, Texas and Virginia.
Trader Joe’s Focaccia Bread with Roasted Tomato & Parmesan and meal-kit company Hello Fresh’s Basil Pesto and Mozzarella Pizza are just two of the affected products.
