Schaumburg-Based Company Recalls Jewel-Branded Rolls, Buns

Consumers with additional questions should call 800-262-3442, extension 1134 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. weekdays

A Schaumburg-based company on Thursday issued a recall of certain baking items because they could pose a food safety concern for people allergic to milk.

Gourmet Sandwich Rolls and Sub Buns sold under the Jewel brand and sold between Dec. 9, 2014 and Jan. 17, 2015 should be returned to the place of purchase for a full refund.

The items are produced by Gonnella Baking Company and carry the product codes 11563 and 15840, the company said in a news release. Both products were sold in 20-ounce, clear plastic bags and have "best buy" dates through Jan. 25, 2015 and were distributed to retail grocery stores in Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana.

Gonnella Baking Company said the baked goods fail to list whey, which is derived from milk, as an ingredient. 

While people who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products, no illnesses had been reported as of Thursday, the company said.

Consumers with additional questions should call 800-262-3442, extension 1134 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. weekdays.
