Major retailers such as Walmart, H-E-B and Food Lion carried the Swiss rolls across the country. The bread was sold in in a handful of states across the South: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.

“The ingredient recall was initiated by a third-party whey powder manufacturer and supplier. No illnesses have been reported in connection with the recalled items,” the Foods recall notice says.
