They're a breakfast favorite, but health experts warn that consumers could find something unexpected if they bite into these baked goods.
An Ongoing Bakery Recall at a Popular Grocery Chain Has Been Upgraded in 8 States
Published on Jul. 09, 2025
Even when there’s a grocery list in hand, sometimes we just can’t help swinging by a favorite store’s bakery department. Freshly baked breads or cakes may be the main draw for some, but here’s an updated heads-up for breakfast enthusiasts who frequent a particular grocer.
In June, we first reported on a Wegmans muffin recall after the chain released information for customers. But on Wednesday, new details emerged from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), including the product quantity.
The FDA’s latest report claims that 8,508 total units of blueberry, French toast, and chocolate chip flavors are affected, though it’s unclear if that number refers to each individual flavor or the overall number of muffins recalled.
In Wednesday’s update, the recall—which is described as “ongoing”—has now been officially categorized as a Class II risk. Products involved in Class II recalls “may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health effects.”
The agency warns that the involved muffins “may contain foreign objects of metal origin,” though the report does not further describe the objects or how the issue was initially discovered.
The mini muffins were reportedly distributed to the following eight states, plus Washington, D.C.: Delaware, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
Though the listed “Best by” dates for the muffins have seemingly all passed, it’s a good reminder to do a quick kitchen sweep to ensure any lingering products have been thrown away. Other provided product details include:
