FDA Warns Bimbo Bakeries to Stop Falsely Labeling Products as Containing Allergens

‘Labeling is not a substitute for adherence to good manufacturing practices or implementation of preventive controls,’ the FDA said in a letter.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned an American bakery company to stop falsely labeling some of its products as containing potentially dangerous allergens.

During FDA inspections last year, the agency said it found that some items made by Bimbo Bakeries USA, part of the Mexican-owned Grupo Bimbo, were misbranded and therefore false or misleading.
