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.

I'm glad to read they're fine. I've had two in tha past week and they are wonderful!

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.

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates? https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms. I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free. Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative. In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken. Major mistake!

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
