Consumers are advised to discard or return recalled products after potential health risks, including injuries to mouth and intestines
Bread and rolls that are sold in six states have been recalled over “glass fragments.”
In a recall report issued earlier this month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said three products that are part of Upper Crust Bakery LP were recalled due to “glass fragment found on top of bread.”
The bread types include Ancient Grains Hoagie Roll, Multigrain Sourdough and Whole Grain Multigrain.
In total, the FDA said 818 cases of the products are suspected of containing glass fragments, including 699 cases of the company’s 18-ounce sourdough loaf, which is packaged in corrugated paper cartons and is sold frozen. 89 cases of the hoagie rolls were recalled and 30 of the whole grain multigrain loaf.
The loaves and rolls were sold in Pennsylvania, California, Connecticut, Maryland, Delaware, and Ohio. They appear to be made by Crest Hill Bakery in Maryland.
PEOPLE has reached out to Crest Hill Bakery for comment.

The recall was given a Class 1 recall classification by the FDA. The FDA uses classifications — Class I, II or II — to indicate the “degree of health hazard” of the recalled product. A Class II recall is defined as “a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.”
The agency says that ingesting glass fragments can “cause injury to the consumer. These injuries may include damage to teeth, laceration of the mouth and throat, or perforation of the intestine.”

The Maryland-based bakery first notified the FDA on April 12, per the recall report. The agency added that the recall was voluntary and initiated by the company.
According to Fox Business, the FDA said anyone who purchased the recalled bread and rolls should not eat them and either dispose of them in a secure trash can or return them to where they were purchased for a full refund.
