General Mills initiated a recall of approximately 736,000 Pillsbury frozen bread roll products this week following FDA notification of potential glass contamination. The recall encompasses two product lines: Hard Roll Dough, with 554,400 rolls across 3,080 cases, and Kaiser Roll Dough, totaling 181,440 rolls in 1,260 cases. Both products are primarily distributed to commercial food service operations rather than retail consumers.
The affected items were shipped to 19 states including Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Missouri, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington and Wyoming. The Hard Roll Dough units, each weighing 2.25 ounces, carry a “better if used by” date of 12 October 2026 and are identified by recall number H-1154-2026. The Kaiser Roll Dough rolls, weighing 2.5 ounces each, have an expiration date of 13 October 2026 and are marked with recall number H-1155-2026.
General Mills, the parent company of brands including Betty Crocker, Cheerios, Lucky Charms and Nature Valley, initiated the recall on 19 June. The company describes these frozen dough products as enabling food service operators to produce fresh bread without additional labor by allowing them to thaw, proof and bake the pre-portioned dough. This recall follows similar contamination incidents involving frozen food products from other manufacturers earlier this year.
