Sara Lee recall: Bread may contain metal

Whole wheat flour, water, corn syrup, metal shards? Consumer products giant Sara Lee (NYSE: SLE) has announced a voluntary recall for whole wheat bread sold in the deep South that may contain metal pieces.

The suspect loaves were made at its bakery in Meridian, Miss., where Sara Lee workers this week discovered that a wheat flour sifter was damaged. Sara Lee issued the precautionary recall, concerned that metal from the sifter may have gotten into the loaves.

Sara Lee said the bread was sold throughout Mississippi and Alabama, and parts of Arkansas, Missouri, Georgia, Tennessee, Louisiana and the Florida panhandle.

In addition to its Sara Lee brands, affected brands included Earthgrains, Flavorite, Golden Bake, Grissom's, Shurfresh, and Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT)'s Great Value brand, as well as store brands at regional groceries Foodland, Schnucks, IGA, Piggly-Wiggly and Publix (OTC: PUSH).

Shares of Sara Lee traded narrowly between $16.04 and $16.22 today, sitting 3 cents under at $16.15 shortly after 3 p.m.
