The maker of Sara Lee and several other brands of bread is recalling certain products sold in 11 states, after consumers found small pieces of glass on the outside of the bread.

Bimbo Bakeries USA issued a voluntary recall on Aug. 26 amid concerns that “fragments of glass caused by a broken light bulb at one of its bakeries” contaminated certain bread products.

The recall covers several Sara Lee products, Nature's Harvest, Great Value brands, Kroger, L'Oven Fresh, and Bimbo brands. The "best buy" dates on the products range from Aug. 29 to Sept. 1, according to a Bimbo Bakeries USA statement.

The recall impacts Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.

The company issued the recall after “receiving three consumer reports of small pieces of glass found on the outside of the bread,” according to the statement. The company said no injuries have been reported.

The Horsham, Pa., based company said consumers can return the product for a full refund at the store where they purchased the item.
