A voluntary recall of Oroweat 100% Whole Wheat Bread has been initiated because it may contain tree nuts not listed on the label, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment announced today.
The bread was baked at the Denver plant of Bimbo Bakeries USA and sold at most major retail grocery locations in five states, according to Mark Salley, spokesman for the state health department. The five states are Colorado, Iowa, Wyoming, Nebraska and New Mexico.
An Oroweat representative said that all the affected products — which have red, blue or tan closure tabs with a "Best By" date of Sept. 22, Sept. 23 or Sept. 25 on the tab — are being pulled from retail grocery shelves across Colorado.
No other Oroweat products are involved in the recall.
Salley said no illness have been reported.
The recall was necessary because Oroweat Health Nut bread was inadvertently placed in Oroweat 100% Whole Wheat Bread packaging. The 100% Whole Wheat ingredient label does not indicate the presence of nuts.
Consumers not allergic to tree nuts can eat the bread. Consumers can return the product to the store where it was purchased for an exchange or refund.
Any questions about the recall should be directed to an Oroweat company representative at 877-224-7374.
