General Mills (NYSE: GIS) is recalling more than 735,000 frozen Pillsbury bread rolls distributed to Walmart in-store bakeries due to possible glass contamination.
The recall covers two specific frozen dough products sold exclusively through Walmart bakery departments across 19 states throughout the country.
The affected items are “Hard Roll Dough” and “Kaiser Roll Dough,” both manufactured under the Pillsbury brand and baked on-site at Walmart locations.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration published a recall notice stating the products may contain “potential foreign material (glass),” posing a risk to consumers.
The FDA classified the recall as Class II on July 13, meaning consumption “may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.”
General Mills initiated the voluntary recall on June 19, moving quickly to pull potentially affected inventory from store bakeries before broader exposure could occur.
“Out of an abundance of caution, in mid-June, we issued a voluntary recall of two frozen dough products baked onsite and sold exclusively at Walmart in-store bakeries in the United States,” General Mills said in a statement.
The company added that “this voluntary recall is limited in scope, highly contained and all potential impacted product has been removed,” seeking to reassure both retailers and the public.
The recall encompasses 3,080 cases of Hard Roll Dough containing 180 rolls each, totaling 554,400 rolls, alongside 1,260 cases of Kaiser Roll Dough with 144 rolls per case, totaling 181,440 rolls.
Hard Roll Dough products carry “Better if Used by” dates of Oct. 12, 2026, and Oct. 13, 2026, with lot numbers 11JUN6JL and 12JUN6JL respectively.
Kaiser Roll Dough products have a “Better if Used by” date of Oct. 13, 2026, and carry lot number 12JUN6JL for identification purposes.
Product identification codes appear on bulk dough cases used by bakery staff rather than on individual rolls sold to shoppers, making the recall primarily relevant to food-service operators.
Affected states include Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Missouri, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Washington.
“Food safety is our top priority at General Mills,” a company spokesperson said, reaffirming the organization’s commitment to consumer protection throughout the recall process.
