Plain-English summary

The Essential Baking Company is recalling 84 loaves of Organic Sliced Columbia bread. The product is twisted bread packaged in a flexible plastic bag with a yellow Kwik-Lok seal. The label indicates a net weight of 32 ounces and lists ingredients including organic unbleached wheat flour, water, organic whole wheat flour, organic rye flour, sea salt, and organic barley malt. The label also notes that the products are made in a bakery that uses wheat, eggs, milk, soy, and tree nuts.

The recall is being issued because the challah bread was mislabeled as Columbia Sliced bread, and the label does not declare egg. This mislabeling poses a risk to consumers with egg allergies.

The product was distributed in Washington. Consumers should check their pantries for this product and dispose of it if found.
