Plastic pieces in sweets cause recall

Bimbo Bakeries USA is voluntarily recalling Entenmann’s Little Bites Variety, 20 pack, that were distributed to stores in Kansas because of reports of plastic being found in the products.

The products being recalled had a “best by” date of Sept. 24. The variety pack includes fudge brownies, chocolate chip muffins and blueberry muffins.

It’s part of a larger recall also affecting the company’s Entenmann’s Little Bites Fudge Brownies, Little Bites Chocolate Chip Muffins and the Little Bites Variety Pack distributed to at least 30 states across East, South and Midwest.

One injury has been reported. All recalled products, according to the company, have been removed from the shelves and no other Entenmann’s products are affected.

According to the company, it is recalling the goods because of complaints of small pieces of plastic found in the baked goods caused by a manufacturing failure at a contract manufacturer’s bakery in Illinois. It reported the complaints to the Food and Drug Administration.
