“Laduree Frozen Poppy Seed Bread Recall: Morphine & Codeine Risk.” GovInfoNow, updated October 11, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/17591-laduree-frozen-poppy-seed-bread-recall-morphine-codeine-risk. Based on FDA recall #F-1331-2019 (https://api.fda.gov/food/enforcement.json?search=recall_number:%22F-1331-2019%22&limit=1).

Why it’s dangerous

The presence of elevated levels of morphine and codeine poses a health risk because these are potent opioid substances. Ingestion can lead to unintended opioid exposure, which may cause serious side effects such as respiratory depression, sedation, or addiction, especially in individuals not prescribed these medications.

Who’s affected

Consumers who purchased or received the recalled Frozen Poppy Seed Bread from restaurants in Washington DC and New York, or potentially from California warehouses. Individuals sensitive to opioids or those taking medications that interact with morphine and codeine are at particular risk.
