Important Allergen Warning: The Bakery Group Recalls Specific Bread and Hamburger Buns for Undeclared Milk, Soy, and Yellow FD&C #5

Summary

Company Announcement

The Bakery Group of Dallas, Texas, has issued a recall for 629 cases of Dense Brioche Pullman loaves, product code #654203, and 104 cases of 4.5-inch Brioche HB Buns, product code #54500. The recall is due to the potential presence of undeclared milk, soy, and yellow FD&C #5 in these products. Consumers who are allergic or have severe sensitivities to soy, wheat, milk, or yellow FD&C #5 are at risk of serious allergic reactions if consumed.

These two products were distributed to Ben E. Keith in Fort Worth, Texas, and Rodeo Goat Casa Linda in Dallas, Texas. The issue arose from improper labeling, where allergen warnings were not included on the packaging of these items, which were specifically produced for Ben E. Keith and Rodeo Goat Casa Linda between December 24, 2024, and March 12, 2025.

Customers can identify the affected products by the brown boxes featuring the Ben E. Keith label, with the specified product codes. The Dense Brioche Pullman loaves are packaged seven loaves to a case, while the 4.5-inch Brioche HB Buns are packaged 48 to a case. Importantly, these items lack identifying lot numbers.

As of now, no illnesses have been reported in connection with this recall. The Bakery Group initiated the recall following a routine inspection by the State of Texas Health and Human Services, which identified the lack of allergen information on the product labels. The company attributes the issue to human error in their labeling and packaging department, which has since been corrected as of March 19, 2025.

Customers who purchased these products between the specified dates and have remaining inventory are urged to contact either Ben E. Keith or The Bakery Group Distribution for relabeling or refunds. For further assistance, consumers can contact The Bakery Group at 214-823-3943, Monday through Friday, from 8 AM to 4 PM. The company expresses its sincere apologies for this error and any inconvenience it may have caused to distributors and customers.
