Walmart is recalling two different Great Value bakery items due to contamination with pieces of plastic.

If you’re one to have a pastry with your coffee for breakfast, be sure to double-check your treats. Walmart has recalled over 3,000 cases of Great Value bakery items, including its cheese Danish and cinnamon rolls. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reported the recall on November 19 and said that pieces of plastic were found in the bakery items.
Which pastries are affected by the recall?

The recalled pastries were sold exclusively at Walmart, and it appears that stores across the country sold the dangerous Danish and cinnamon rolls. To determine whether your items have been affected, check the packaging. Here’s what to look for:
- Great Value Cheese Danishes, 16.5-ounce packs, UPC 078742201177, Lot# L092525200 269X
- Great Value Cinnamon Rolls, 16.5-ounce packs, UPC 078742201160, Lot# L092525200 269X
Each 16.5-ounce pack in this recall contains six individually wrapped cheese Danishes or cinnamon rolls. If you removed the pastries from their original carton, be sure to check the lot number on the plastic wrapping.
What should I do next?
If the lot numbers on your items match the ones attached to the recall, throw them out. You can also bring the package back to Walmart for a refund. Either way, the food isn’t safe to eat.
If you need a treat for breakfast or are planning a pastry spread for weekend brunch, your best bet will be to buy fresh ones or make your own at home. Prep cinnamon rolls tonight and pop them in the oven in the a.m., or try your hand at homemade cheese Danishes.
