Bread and Bun Recall: Brands Affected - What You Need to Know
Have you been stocking up on bread and buns lately? You might want to check your pantry! There's been a major recall affecting several popular brands due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, a nasty bacteria that can cause serious illness.
What's the big deal with Listeria? This little bug can cause listeriosis, an infection that's especially dangerous for pregnant women, newborns, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. Symptoms can range from mild flu-like symptoms to more serious complications like meningitis, miscarriage, and even death. Yikes!
So which brands are affected? The recall is pretty widespread, hitting some big names in the bread and bun world. Here's a list of the brands you need to be aware of:

Bun Brands Affected:

How do I know if I have affected products? The best way is to check the packaging. Look for the product name, lot code, and best-by date. If your bread or buns match any of the details listed in the recall, ditch them!
What should I do with the recalled products? Don't try to be a hero and eat them! Throw them away, or even better, return them to the store for a refund.
What about my health? If you've eaten any of the recalled products and you're experiencing symptoms like fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, or loss of balance, seek medical attention immediately!
