The Food and Drug Administration issued a bread recall for Great Value Hawaiian Roll 4 packs sold at Walmart after the manufacturer found an oily and sticky substance on the packaging. Consumers in 26 states, including Ohio and Indiana, are affected.
The recall reaches a product sold through Walmart’s grocery shelves across a wide area, not just one store or one state. That scale matters because the affected packs were distributed in multiple states before the recall took effect.
The FDA said the problem involved the direct food contact surface packaging of the finished product. That means the recall centers on what touched the bread, not a claim that the bread itself was altered.
For shoppers, the immediate step is to check Great Value Hawaiian Roll 4 packs bought at Walmart and treat them as part of the recall if they were purchased in one of the 26 states. Ohio and Indiana are among the states named in the recall, showing that the affected area extends across the region.
Walmart and the FDA
The Food and Drug Administration described the recall as involving bread sold at Walmart under the Great Value name. The product size listed was 4 packs, and the recall covered 26 states.
The distinction between packaging contamination and product contamination is the critical point for anyone deciding what to do with the bread. The recall was triggered by what was found on the packaging surface, which is the item customers handle before opening the package.
Ohio and Indiana
Ohio and Indiana were both included in the affected area. Consumers in those states were part of the wider 26-state recall, which places this among the larger regional food recalls announced for a single retail product.
That leaves one unresolved detail for shoppers trying to sort out whether a package is included: which specific 26 states were named. The recalled product is already identified, but the state list is what tells a buyer whether a package falls inside the recall boundary.
