What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Union Bagel Shop is voluntarily recalling packages of sesame seed bagels. The recall was initiated because the product contains wheat, which is not declared on the ingredient list. The affected product consists of two bagels per package in a plastic bag with a twist tie, accompanied by a business card for the shop. The ingredient list on the packaging lists flour, filtered water, organic shortening, olive oil, malt, sugar, sea salt, yeast, and organic sesame seeds, but omits wheat.

The recalled products were distributed only to one retail store located in Grande, Oregon. The recall was initiated on April 7, 2016, and was terminated on October 17, 2016. The FDA classified this recall as Class II, indicating that there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to the violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.

Consumers who purchased these bagels should stop consuming them and return them to the place of purchase for a refund or disposal. Individuals with wheat allergies or celiac disease are at particular risk of adverse health effects if they consume this product without knowing it contains wheat.
