Flowers Foods announced the recall October 2, 2026; FDA posted it October 5. Certain Nature’s Own Hawaiian bread packages omitted milk from the ingredients label, posing an allergic-reaction risk for people allergic or severely sensitive to milk.

The 40-ounce two-pack has UPC 0 72250 00683 5; the notice lists no code or best-by restriction for that package.
