Allied Bakeries informed the police and the UK's food agency of deliberate contamination of its Kingsmill sliced bread, of which 2.5 million loaves are produced each week, with glass or sewing needles. For the moment, there is no recall on the cards. "The risk assessment has been done at the Kent plant, and it was decided that at this stage we would not carry out a recall," confirmed a spokesperson at Allied Bakeries.
