A bread company is recalling loaves of bread after receiving complaints of broken glass on the outside of bread. The company said the glass is from a broken light bulb.
In today's audit-ready world, having unshielded light bulbs is very uncommon, let alone to have one break in an area where product is exposed. Being that the complaints state the glass was located on the outside of the loaves, the bulb breaking event would have had to occur after panning somewhere through baking on through to packaging.
Recognizing a bulb had broke in that area, immediate corrective action that would have included putting any product that had the potential for exposure, would have prevented this massive recall.
This is a great learning opportunity to be shared with employees on 1) keeping an eye open for anything that can present a hazard and 2) the importance of taking immediate action.
