Bread May Contain Metal Pieces
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Sara Lee Corporation is recalling 27 brands of whole-wheat bread products because they could contain small metal pieces, the company said. A recent routine inspection of a bakery in Meridian, Miss., uncovered problems with a flour-sifting screen, said a company spokesman, Mark Goldman. The problem was isolated to the Meridian bakery, which continued production using bagged flour that did not require the sifting system, Mr. Goldman said. The recall involves EarthGrains, Publix, Sara Lee Delightful, Sara Lee Hearty & Delicious and several other brands that were stamped “best if purchased by” July 25, 2007, to Aug. 7, 2007, and included the code “222.” The products were sold in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee. Consumers can return the bread to the store where it was purchased for a refund, said Sara Lee, based in Downers Grove, Ill.
