Walmart shoppers are being warned of a safety issue after an urgent recall was issued for two popular bakery items sold under the Great Value brand. The recall comes after reports of potential contamination with plastic fragments, which could pose a risk to consumers.
Details of the Recall
The affected products are:
- Great Value Cheese Danishes (UPC 078742201177), Lot # L092525200 269X.
- Great Value Cinnamon Rolls (UPC 078742201160), Lot # L092525200 269X.
These items, distributed exclusively at Walmart locations nationwide, are being voluntarily recalled by the manufacturer, The JM Smucker Company. The recall impacts approximately 2,027 cases of Cheese Danishes and 1,602 cases of Cinnamon Rolls.
The FDA has classified this as a Class II recall, meaning that while the risk of severe health consequences is low, exposure to the affected items could result in temporary or medically reversible adverse effects.
Consumer Guidance
Walmart customers who have purchased these items are advised not to consume them. Instead, they can return the products to the store for a full refund. Consumers should check the lot number on the packaging to confirm whether their purchase is part of the recall.
Food Safety in Focus
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of stringent safety measures in the food production process. Contamination, whether physical, chemical, or biological, can have significant implications for public health and brand reputation. Retailers like Walmart and manufacturers must ensure robust quality controls to maintain consumer trust.
