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.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
