Olive Bakery Green Bean Bread Recalled for Undeclared Wheat Allergen

Olive Bakery is recalling Green Bean bread because the label lists flour but fails to declare wheat, a major allergen.

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.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (wheat), which corresponds to a severity score of 3 (High) per the rubric, as no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Olive Bakery is recalling 7 packages of Green Bean bread topped with black sesame seeds. The product is packaged in a clear plastic bag with a fold-down stick seal and a white printed label. The label lists ingredients including green bean paste, flour, water, sugar, milk, butter, eggs, salt, yeast, and sesame seeds, but it does not include net weight or nutritional information.

The recall is being issued because the label declares flour but does not declare wheat. Wheat is a major food allergen, and its omission from the ingredient list poses a risk to consumers with wheat allergies. The product was distributed in Oregon and Washington.

Consumers who have purchased this product should stop using it and check their pantries for the specific packaging described. The recall notice does not specify a return location or refund process, but consumers should avoid consuming the product if they have a wheat allergy.
