FNM Bakery Limited recalls various First National Bakery products because of potential rodent contamination
Why it was recalled
FNM Bakery Limited is recalling a range of its First National Bakery products after potential rodent contamination was found at the bakery's manufacturing site. Rodents can spread bacteria onto food and preparation surfaces, so affected products are considered unsafe to eat even when they look and smell normal.
Site-level hygiene failures affect everything produced there, which is why this recall spans multiple bakery lines rather than a single product or date.
