FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - December 2, 2011 - THOMASVILLE, GA - Flowers Foods today announced that, out of an abundance of caution, it has pulled off store shelves in certain Florida and southeast Georgia counties loaves of its Nature's Own Butterbread with the specific best by date of 12/7/11 and the UPC code 72250-04919 because they may contain small flakes of aluminum. No other Nature's Own bakery products are affected.

Counties involved in the product withdrawal: In Florida: Alachua, Baker, Bradford, Brevard, Clay, Columbia, Dixie, Duval, Flagler, Gilchrist, Hamilton, Lafayette, Levy, Marion, Nassau, Putnam, St. Johns, Suwannee, Union, and Volusia In Georgia: Atkinson, Bacon, Brantley, Camden, Charlton, Clinch, Glynn, Long, McIntosh, Pierce, Ware, and Wayne

Nature's Own Butterbread, in 20-oz. packages with both the date and code noted above may contain small flakes of aluminum. No injuries have been reported. Only a small number of loaves may have been affected, and the company has already pulled loaves with the specified date and code from the counties noted. Grocers in these counties are advised to withdraw from sale any Nature's Own Butterbread with the date and code noted that may still be in their possession and hold it for pickup by the company. The production issue related to this matter has been corrected.

Consumers in the counties noted are asked to return Nature's Own Butterbread with both the best by date and UPC code noted to the place of purchase for product replacement or refund. Consumers with questions may contact Flowers’ Consumer Relations Center at 1-866-245-8921. The center is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern time.

Iron (pronounced "arn" in Kentucky  ;D ) is one thing, but I'll pass on the aluminium.

Best by May 11 and 12? And they say that they pulled most of the product from their system?  It took awhile to get the message out. 99.9% of any bread with that date in retail stores has been eaten already. The stores pulled the bread long ago.  Better late than never, but it surely would be better to get the word out a little faster.

Yeah, I have always liked the taste of rusty well water. Of course after the main rush of rust has gone through the hydrant. We had never considered that a little arn in the water would hurt us.  ;D But then we thought the same about baking powder, aluminum cans, food coloring, pork chops and 24D weed killer.  :P
