Norway Links Glass in Bread to Chinese Seeds

OSLO — Glass particles have been found in Norwegian bread containing sunflower seeds from China, the country's food safety authority said on Monday.

The regulator said eight consumers in different regions of Norway found bits of finely ground glass in their bread before eating it and contacted their bakers. No one was hurt.

"All eight samples have one thing in common — sunflower. The hypothesis is that the glass particles came from a batch of sunflower seeds imported from China," Roald Gulbrandsen, director of the food safety authority, told Reuters.

He said 110 bakers in Norway bought some of a suspect shipment of sunflower seeds, which had been recalled along with baked goods containing the seeds.
