General Mills Recalls Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls With Icing, Says Dough Could Contain Plastic Pieces

You may want to double check the expiration date before you think about taking a bite out of a Pillsbury cinnamon roll.

On Friday, General Mills announced that they are recalling their refrigerated Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls with Icing because the dough may contain plastic pieces, reports the Associated Press.

According to a press release, "This action is being taken as a precaution because the dough may contain fragments from a broken piece of plastic on the production line.  These products are sold in grocery stores nationally.  No other Pillsbury dough products are being recalled."

The products being recalled include 8-count single packages with "better if used by" dates of October 30, 2013 and October 31, 2013 and two-packs with the dates October 18, 2013, October 26, 2013 and October 31, 2013.

Other Pillsbury products, such as Pillsbury Flaky Cinnamon Rolls and Pillsbury Grands! Cinnamon Rolls, are not included in the recall.

Consumers that have any recalled products should contact General Mills Inc. at 1-800-775-4777 for a replacement.

In other food recall news, Chobani announced that it is issuing a recall of some its Greek yogurt cups that were affected by mold after some customers reported claims of illnesses.

The recall comes about a week after the company first started asking retailers to pull the products from shelves, saying some cups were "swelling and bloating." Other customers made online complaints.  One wrote that her yogurt was "unnervingly fizzy" and another said it tasted like "wine."

The yogurt company, which is based in New Berlin, N.Y., said that most of the affected products came from its Idaho facility and have already been pulled from shelves. According to the company, less than five percent of its total production has been affected. The containers are marked with the code 16-012 and expiration dates Sept. 11 to Oct. 7.

The company identified the mold as Mucor circinelloides, a common species that usually affects fruits, vegetables and other plants. It has also been linked to previous cases of spoiled yogurt, reports USA Today.
