Glass in Pillsbury Rolls Triggers 700,000+ Unit Recall

Pillsbury initiated a voluntary recall of over 700,000 units of its refrigerated dough products on February 28, 2024, after receiving consumer complaints about glass fragments found in the food. The affected products include Pillsbury Crescent Dinner Rolls, Pillsbury Soft Breadsticks, Pillsbury Breadsticks, and Pillsbury Grands! Flaky Layers Biscuits. The recall specifically covers items with "best by" dates between March 17, 2024, and April 13, 2024, and includes UPC codes that can be found on the company's recall announcement.

The contamination is believed to have occurred during the manufacturing process at a facility in Pryor, Oklahoma. While no injuries have been reported to date, the company is taking this precautionary measure to ensure consumer safety. The presence of glass, even small fragments, poses a significant health risk, potentially causing lacerations or internal injuries if ingested. Consumers are advised to check their packaging against the recalled lot codes and "best by" dates provided by Pillsbury.

Pillsbury is working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) on this matter. The company has stated that it is committed to upholding the highest standards of quality and safety for its products. Consumers who have purchased the recalled items are instructed not to consume them and to dispose of them safely. They are also encouraged to contact Pillsbury's customer relations for a full refund or replacement coupon.
