The mislabeling was identified internally. No customer complaints or illnesses have been reported to date.

Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in the company’s packaging processes, which has been corrected.

Consumers should return the affected product to the store where they purchased it with the uneaten buns and packaging for a full refund.
