Nobody Does It Like Sara Lee

Sara Lee Corp. is recalling 27 brands of whole wheat bread products because they could contain small metal pieces.

A recent routine inspection of a bakery in Mississippi, uncovered problems with a flour-sifting screen, which was "not up to our specification and raised the possibility some metal could have dislodged," said a spokeperson. I assume the specification was that no metal pieces ended up on the bread.

The products were sold in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee – states where foreign objects like small metal pieces would likely tend to go unnoticed in food, hence the warning.

Insert your own bread / metal joke here: ____________ -- I’m already claiming the one where they ought to label the packages to say “iron enriched”…
