Summary

  • More than 730,000 Pillsbury rolls sold through Walmart in-store bakeries were pulled after General Mills said the frozen dough may contain glass.
  • 3,080 cases of Hard Roll Dough and 1,260 cases of Kaiser Roll Dough were recalled after General Mills began the action on June 19; both products carried best-by dates of Oct. 12, 2026.
  • 19 states were affected, and General Mills said any baked rolls made from the dough had already been removed from bakery shelves.
  • The FDA posted the notice on July 13 and classified it as a Class II recall, meaning health effects would likely be temporary or medically reversible and serious harm is considered remote.
