What happened

Weis Markets is recalling Old Fashioned Shortcake and 29 other bakery products because small metal fragments (about the size of a grain of rice to a peppercorn) may be present in the sugar topping. This happened because the sugar ingredient supplier had an issue with their product.

Who is at risk

Anyone who purchased these products is potentially affected, as metal fragments could cause injury if consumed.

What to do

Check your home for any of the recalled bakery items, especially Old Fashioned Shortcake. If you have them, do not eat them—either throw them away or return them to Weis Markets for a refund. The recalled products were sold in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Maryland, and Virginia.
