Entenmann’s Recalls Little Bites Brownies, Muffins Sold in Ohio For Choking Hazard

HORSHAM, PA — People who love to snack on Entenmann’s Little Bites brownies and muffins may want to check their pantries. Bimbo Bakeries, the maker of Entenmann’s products, has issued a voluntary recall of some of its products.

The recall affects four particular Little Bites products shipped only to specific states. The products were shipped to retail stores over the last two weeks.

Bimbo Bakeries said it was made aware of the issue after receiving consumer reports of contamination. One injury was reported, the company said. The plastic pieces could cause choking or cutting hazards, the company said.
