Olive Bakery Chestnut Bread Recalled for Undeclared Wheat Allergen

Olive Bakery is recalling chestnut bread packages because the label declares flour but fails to declare wheat, a major food 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 the mislabeling of a common allergen (wheat), which corresponds to a severity score of 3 (High) according to the rubric for allergen mislabeling on common allergens.

Plain-English summary

Olive Bakery is voluntarily recalling three packages of chestnut bread pastries. The product consists of two bread pastries filled with white bean paste and topped with sesame seeds, packaged in a clear plastic bag. The recall is being issued because the product label lists flour as an ingredient but does not declare wheat, which is a major food allergen.

The affected products were distributed in Oregon and Washington. The packaging features a white printing label that includes the Olive Bakery name and address in Lakewood, Washington. The label lists ingredients including white bean, flour, water, sugar, milk, butter, eggs, salt, yeast, and sesame seeds, but omits the specific declaration of wheat.

Consumers who have purchased these products should stop using them and return them to the place of purchase for a refund or dispose of them. Individuals with a wheat allergy or celiac disease should be particularly cautious and avoid consuming the product.
