FDA: Walmart Has Recalled a Great Value Product in 26 States The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced a recall of a Great Value product sold by Walmart, affecting 188,046 packages across 26 states. The recall involves Great Value Hawaiian Rolls, produced by United States Bakery, an Oregon-based company that serves as one of Walmart’s licensors for the Great Value brand. The FDA report, dated June 16, states that the recall was initiated on May 15 after the company observed an oily and sticky substance on the direct food contact surface of the packaging. The affected product consists of 4.5-ounce rolls packaged in four-roll units. The FDA provided specific batch codes and production dates for the recalled items, including Julian codes 116, 119, 120, 127, 134, and 135, as well as production dates ranging from April 26 to May 15, 2026. These rolls were distributed to the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The FDA report clarifies that the product was never sold in retail stores and was not available for consumer purchase. All affected packages remained at wholesale distribution centers and have been accounted for. While the recall applies to four-roll packages, Walmart’s website lists a 12-pack of Great Value Sweet Hawaiian Rolls, which includes sugar and soybean oil as ingredients. Although the FDA does not confirm a direct link between the ingredients and the packaging issue, the presence of these substances raises questions about potential contamination. The FDA classified the recall as a Class II recall, indicating a moderate health risk.#fda #walmart #great_value #united_states_bakery #hawaiian_rolls
