What strikes Gut Check as a statistically improbable run of products recalled because of the possible presence of foreign objects continues.
BBU, Inc. has issued a voluntary recall of several different brands of bread because of the possible presence of flexible wire. According to the press release announcing the recall (via the FDA), the wire's presence is the result of a "faulty screen at a third party flour mill".
Never heard of BBU? You might have heard of Bimbo; BBU is Bimbo Bakeries U.S.A. And you almost certainly have heard of some of the brands involved in the recall.
