Publix recalls apple coffee cakes

Publix Super Markets, Lakeland, Fla., said it issued a voluntary recall for its in-store bakery apple coffee cakes due to the possible presence of small metal shavings. The coffee cakes were sold at Publix bakery departments in Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee and North Carolina, as well as in a number of Florida counties.

"As part of our commitment to food safety, potentially impacted product has been removed from store shelves,” said Maria Brous, media and community relations director for Publix. "To date, there have been no reported cases of illness or injury. Consumers who have purchased the product in question may return the product to their local store for a full refund."
