Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

King's Hawaiian has recalled 800,111 units of its Pretzel Hamburger Buns, Pretzel Slider Buns, and Pretzel Bites. The recall was issued because an ingredient used to make these pretzel products may have been contaminated with Cronobacter sakazakii or Clostridium botulinum. No illnesses have been reported to date, but the company is taking this voluntary action as a precaution. Consumers should immediately stop eating these products and return them for a refund or throw them away.

Risk

Cronobacter sakazakii and Clostridium botulinum are bacteria that can cause serious or life-threatening illnesses. Clostridium botulinum can lead to botulism, a severe form of food poisoning that causes muscle weakness and respiratory distress, while Cronobacter can cause dangerous infections particularly in vulnerable populations.
