DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. - Sara Lee Corp. is recalling 27 brands of whole
wheat bread products because they could contain small metal pieces, the
company said Friday.

A recent routine inspection of a bakery in Meridian, Miss., uncovered
problems with a flour-sifting screen, said company spokesman Mark
Goldman.

The machine was "not up to our specification and raised the possibility
some metal could have dislodged," Goldman said.

The problem was isolated to the Meridian bakery, which continued
production using bagged flour that did not require the sifting system,
Goldman said.

The recall involves EarthGrains, Publix, Sara Lee Delightful, Sara Lee
Hearty & Delicious and several other brands that were stamped "best if
purchased by" July 25, 2007, to Aug. 7, 2007, and included the code
"222."

The products were sold in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee.

Consumers can return the bread to the store where it was purchased for a
refund, Downers Grove, Ill.-based Sara Lee said.

Sara Lee shares fell 18 cents, or 1.1 percent, to $16 Friday.
