Hawaiian Sandwich Rolls recalled due to bacterial contamination

Piantedosi Baking Co. is recalling Hawaiian Sandwich Rolls due to potential contamination with Cronobacter sakazakii and Clostridium botulinum. Affected products were distributed across multiple states.

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: This is an FDA Class II recall involving high-risk pathogens (Cronobacter sakazakii and Clostridium botulinum). The source does not report any illnesses, making this a high-severity recall based on pathogen risk rather than reported harm.

Plain-English summary

Piantedosi Baking Co., Inc. is recalling Hawaiian Sandwich Roll 12-packs (UPC 033474502978) due to potential contamination with Cronobacter sakazakii and Clostridium botulinum. A total of 18,119 frozen product trays are affected by this recall.

These pathogens can cause serious foodborne illness. Cronobacter sakazakii can cause infections, while Clostridium botulinum produces botulinum toxin, which causes botulism—a potentially life-threatening condition.

The contaminated products were distributed in Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New York, Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Virginia, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Illinois, Mississippi, and Colorado. The recalled products have lot code 22110 with an expiration date of April 20, 2022.
