Hartford Bakery, Inc. is voluntarily recalling six lots of its "Lewis Bake Shop Artisan Style 1/2 Loaf" as this product may contain undeclared hazelnuts. People with a nut allergy or severe sensitivity to hazelnuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume these products. The recalled "Lewis Bake Shop Artisan Style 1/2 Loaf" products were distributed in Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Arkansas, Missouri, Alabama, and Mississippi retailers, including Kroger and Walmart.

Hartford Bakery, Inc. is removing all units of product included in the six affected lot codes noted below. The product comes in a flexible plastic bag marked with the following information:

Hartford Bakery, Inc has determined that no other lot codes were affected.

The recall was initiated after discovering that approximately 883 loaves of bread from six production lots contained visible hazelnuts and were distributed in "Lewis Bake Shop Artisan Style 1/2 Loaf" packaging. While the packaging states "May Contain Tree Nuts," it does not state that it "Contains Hazelnuts."
An investigation revealed an error in change of packaging for a hazelnut-containing bread to the implicated white bread product.
