Udi's Hamburger Buns - Possible Recall

My finacee and I bought a package of Udi's hamburger buns last week - the 'whole grain' version. We were very pleased with them. When my fiancee went back to Whole Foods to buy some more today, he was told by an employee that Udi's had emailed them today to state that the hamburger buns were currently not being shipped to stores because Udi's had found a problem with one of the ingredients that they're currently working to correct. The employee was unable to tell my fiancee if the ingredient was gluten-related - but I can't think of another ingredient issue that would keep Udi's from shipping. At any rate, if you have the new hamburger or hot dog buns, you might want to refrain from eating them until there's some kind of official word from Udi's. There's nothing on their website right now.

Personally, I don't know if I reacted to eating the buns, as I'd already gotten glutened last week and was still having issues.

Also curious if anyone else has heard anything about this??

Could be that one of the grains isn't the quality they want or they are having a supplier problem. Might have nothing to do with gluten.

The website says Temporarily out of stock. Probably can't keep up with the demand. They have been praising these things on every gluten-free website. Hopefully, that's all.

Hi Kate,

I work for Udi's and just wanted to let you know that in regards to the buns recall, we had an ingredient ‘supply chain issue’. There is no problem with the ingredient itself and no risk of gluten contamination. All of our products are made in our certified gluten free bakery. Additionally, this supply issue has been resolved and we will be shipping the buns out again shortly.

Thanks for your support!

Best,

I just got these and was saving them as a treat because I try to be grain free as much as possible. Now kinda afraid to try them. I also got a loaf of the Millet Chia and was saving it.

Hope you're right, too - they were really good! Just a better safe than sorry thing.

I have investigated the source of the MWhelan post and to the best I can determine, it is genuine and comes from Udi's.

Whether or not the source of that post is actually from Udi's...isn't Udi's a gluten-free bakery? If its a gluten issue that would mess up their status with that. Maybe I'm wrong though.

We bought these a few weeks ago at Whole Foods. They were unrefrigerated/unfrozen and had a sticker on them that said 6/16. I would assume they would be good until then. A few days after I bought them, they were moldy! So I had to throw them out.

Every other place that sells them, sells them frozen. Are these supposed to be kept frozen?

I keep them frozen. 60 seconds on half power in the microwave thaws them perfectly.

I think you are supposed to freeze them if they aren't already, and if you are not going to eat them immediately. If Whole Foods had them frozen at some point, and then defrosted, they would tend to mold up pretty quickly.

The only gluten-free breads I've had that didn't do that quick- mold routine is is the stuff I use with amaranth and almond meal in it, which seems to keep for up to 5 days or more in the refrigerator.

So far I have never seen any gluten-free bread with any mold, either my own homemade or purchased. Whew!!

I have! The stuff I've made has gone moldy and I've seen plenty of Ener-G that has gone moldy. If it's one day beyond the expiration date it goes all green. And I have bought some that apparently had a bad seal because it went bad right away.

Oh, yuck! I've been really lucky I suppose. But I keep Udi's bread in the freezer and grab a piece now and then. None of my homemade breads have gone moldy at all. Weird.

ETA: I'm guessing it is weather related. We are usually very dry here.

Whole Foods probably does for Udis what Canyon Bakehouse told me they do for their bread. Canyon ships it frozen except to store in the Denver area ( in town). WF keeps it frozen & puts a few out on the shelf at a time. It thaws and you can eat it or put it back in the freezer. You can ask WF to get you a frozen one from the back ( at $6-7 I don't mind asking plus they are so darn nice, it's unnatural).

I think Julie lives in the Pacific NW where it is damp a lot. When it is humid here, even with a/c, stuff goes bad sooner. I just pull a few pieces out of the freezer, put them on a plate & in 10-15 minutes, they are thawed.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Hi! I had my first episode of AFib last May when I was 30 (I have had some heart stuff my whole life but nothing this extreme). I was not diagnosed with celiac until the beginning of this month in October of 2025. I was in the early stages of celiac, so I'm not sure if they were related (maybe!) All of my heart tests came back normal except for my electrolytes (potassium and magnesium) that were low when the AFib occurred. I also became pregnant with our third and last baby a couple weeks after I came back from that hospital stay. I had no heart complications after that whole thing. And I still haven't over a year later. It was definitely scary and I hope it doesn't happen again. I drink an electrolyte drink mix about every day, and I'm sure being on a gluten-free diet will help my body even more! I will pray for you in this. Taking care of our bodies is so challenging but Jesus is with us every step of the way. He cares and He sees you!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet which is really strict for a while, but later other foods can be added back into your diet.  Following the AIP diet strictly allows you digestive system to heal and the inflammation to calm down.  Sort of like feeding a sick baby easy to digest food instead of spicy pizza.   It's important to get the inflammation down because chronic inflammation leads to other health problems.  Histamine is released as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.  High histamine levels make you feel bad and can cause breathing problems (worsening asthma), cardiovascular problems (tachycardia), and other autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, diabetes) and even mental health problems. Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet allows the body to clear the histamine from our bodies.  Some foods are high in histamine.  Avoiding these makes it easier for our bodies to clear the histamine released after a gluten exposure.   Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and calm it down.  Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiacs.  The B Complex vitamins and Vitamin C are needed to clear histamine.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals boosts your intestines' ability to absorb them while healing.   Keep in mind that gluten-free facsimile foods, like gluten-free bread, are not enriched with added vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts are.   They are empty calories, no nutritional value, which use up your B vitamins in order to turn the calories into fuel for the body to function.   Talk to your doctor or nutritionist about supplementing while healing.  Take a good B Complex and extra Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine (shown to promote gut health).  Most B Complex vitamins contain thiamine mononitrate which the body cannot utilize.  Meats and liver are good sources of B vitamins.   Dr. Sarah Ballantyne wrote the book, the Paleo Approach.  She's a Celiac herself.  Her book explains a lot.   I'm so glad you're feeling better and finding your balance!

      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Some people prefer eating gluten before bed, then sleeping through the worst symptoms at night.  You might want to try that and see if that makes any difference.   Several slices of toast for breakfast sounds okay.  Just try to work up to the Ten grams of gluten.  Cookies might only have a half of a gram of gluten.  The weight of the whole cookie is not the same as the amount of gluten in it.  So do try to eat bread things with big bubbles, like cinnamon rolls.   Yeah, I'm familiar with the "death warmed over" feeling.  I hope you get the genetic test results quickly.  I despise how we have to make ourselves sick to get a diagnosis.  Hang in there, sweetie, the tribe is supporting you.
