Sara Lee, Arnold Dutch Country Bread Recalled in Georgia

The recall is a precautionary measure, no illnesses have been reported.

BBU, Inc., the parent of the Bimbo Bakeries companies, has initiated a voluntary recall of bread and buns due to possible presence of flexible wire caused by a faulty screen at a third party flour mill.

This recall does not affect any products currently offered for sale in retail stores but the company, out of an abundance of caution, wants to alert consumers to check any affected products they may still have in their homes.

Recalled products in Georgia are listed below with the applicable "Best By" dates and their states of distribution. The "Best By" date is printed on the front of the bag on the bread items and on a sticker on the thin style buns product.
