Koffee Kup Bakery recalls several bread products over plastic pieces
Koffee Kup Bakery has voluntarily recalled approximately 99,000 packages of its bread products due to the possibility that there may be clear plastic pieces in some products. View: List of products affected in recall (.PDF) The product recall is limited to bread products identified by the “use by” dates 9/30/16, 10/1/16, 10/2/16 or 10/3/16, which are printed on the closure tags of each package. Products bearing other “use by” dates were not affected, the company said, nor were any of Koffee Kup’s crullers or doughnuts, which are produced on a different manufacturing line. Koffee Kup discovered the presence of a foreign object in its bread and roll production through routine screening, a spokesperson said. The company ceased production immediately and upon further investigation, discovered that a small piece of clear plastic entered the stream of production and broke apart during the production process, thus creating a choking hazard. The company elected to commence an immediate product recall of all products potentially contaminated by the plastic that entered the production stream. The recalled products were shipped to U.S. retailers in the states of Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. None of the products were shipped by Koffee Kup or its distributors to Canada or to other countries, to the company’s knowledge. Distributors, drivers and retailers have been notified of the recall and have been directed to remove all potentially affected products from stores, but some products may already have been purchased by consumers. Customers should return affected products it to the store where it was purchased for an exchange or a full refund. No injuries have been reported to date. Consumers with questions can contact Koffee Kup Bakery, Inc. at 1-800-841-8102.
