The Bakery Group of Dallas, Tx is recalling 629 cases of Dense Brioche Pullman loaves, #654203 and 104 cases of 4.5in Brioche HB Buns, #54500 because they may contain undeclared Milk, Soy and Yellow FD&C#5. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to Soy, Wheat Milk or Yellow FD&C#5 run the risk of possible serious allergic reaction if consumed.

The Bakery Group sold these 2 products to Ben E. Keith of Ft. Worth, Tx and Rodeo Goat Casa Linda Store in Dallas, TX.

The improper labels were applied to these 2 products that are specifically produced for Ben E. Keith Ft. Worth and Rodeo Goat Casa Linda through wholesale distribution between the dates of December 24, 2024 and March 12, 2025.
