Pound cake products withdrawn due to foreign matter

L & M Bakery is voluntarily withdrawing some pound cake products that may be contaminated with extraneous materials, specifically blue plastic wrapping paper pieces, according to a withdrawal notice from the Defense Commissary Agency’s food safety office sent Jan. 15.

The Defense Commissary Agency has publicized this withdrawal to all its stores, said Chris Wicker, a public health advisor for DeCA headquarters at Fort Lee, Virginia. Whenever a commissary has a recalled or withdrawn product in its inventory, the product is immediately removed from store shelves.

The following products are affected by the withdrawal:
