Fig Bars (Fig Newton style) recall

Recalled by Breadfarm · Bow, WA, United States

Class II — Moderate risk. May cause temporary or reversible harm; serious harm unlikely.

Why it was recalled

The wheat germ used by the firm to make their products was recalled by the wheat germ manufacturer because it was potentially contaminated with metal fragments approximately 05.mm in diameter and 3-15 mm in length. The contamination occurred at the raw ingredient manufacturer.

Hard or sharp fragments can cut the mouth or throat, break teeth or cause choking. They usually come from equipment wear or packaging on the production line. All foreign material recalls.

What was recalled

Fig Bars (Fig Newton style), bulk packed and refrigerated for individual sales.

Quantity: Approximately 50 to 60 pounds.

Lot codes, dates and UPCs

"128" and "149". These are the julian dates that the dough was baked and packaged. The dough was produced on 5/5/12 and 5/26/12.

Where it was sold

Washington

FDA's distribution note: Distributed to retailers and direct accounts in Washington State.

Check the codes, then return or discard. Class II means eating it may cause temporary or reversible health problems. If your package matches the recalled codes, do not eat it - return it to the store or throw it away. FDA lists this recall as terminated: the company has finished removing the product, so it should no longer be on shelves - but it can still be in a freezer or pantry.
