General Mills Recalls 736K Pillsbury Rolls Over Glass Risk 2026

General Mills is recalling nearly 736,000 Pillsbury bread rolls over concerns they could contain glass, according to a notice from the US Food and Drug Administration. The recall affects two frozen dough products distributed to 19 states, primarily targeting commercial food service customers. Food safety is critical, and this recall underscores the importance of checking inventory immediately.

Recall Details and Products Affected

The recall covers two frozen bread roll products: Hard Roll Dough and Kaiser Roll Dough. Hard Roll Dough involves 3,080 cases with 180 rolls each (554,400 rolls total), while Kaiser Roll Dough includes 1,260 cases with 144 rolls each (181,440 rolls total).

Distribution and Affected States

The recalled rolls were distributed to 19 states: Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Missouri, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and Wyoming. Food service operators in these states should immediately check their inventory for the affected lot numbers and use-by dates.

Who Should Take Action

According to General Mills, these frozen dough products are intended primarily for commercial food service customers rather than individual consumers. The company’s website notes that the rolls allow operators to create “freshly baked, scratch-like bread without increasing labor costs.” Restaurants, bakeries, and institutional kitchens should verify if they have any recalled cases in stock.
