“Hunger Has a Cure” Campaign to benefit Feeding America and its local food banks

Food Lion launches its “Hunger Has a Cure” campaign Wednesday to support Feeding America and its network of local food banks. The two-week campaign, which allows customers to donate in $1 or $3 increments at the register, runs through April 16, and will help feed local families in need.

“We know that it’s difficult for some families to provide food during the summer, especially since it’s a time when food donations typically drop while hunger needs increase,” said Sherrii Webb, manager of community relations for Food Lion. “Funds raised through this two-week ‘Hunger Has a Cure’ campaign will provide critical food assistance for local families in need.”

Harris Teeter voluntarily recalls bakery rolls

Harris Teeter voluntarily recalls bakery rolls

Harris Teeter says it is voluntarily recalling a store-brand bakery product because it contains eggs, which is not listed on the ingredient label.

A statement from the Matthews-based chain on Wednesday says the recall affects its knot rolls. The statement said the label was not affixed to the exterior of the bulk bins where the bread is sold.

Harris Teeter has removed the recalled product from its Fresh Foods Market Bakery and packaged the product to include the correct ingredient label.

It says people who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to eggs run the risk of an allergic reaction if they eat the rolls.

Anyone who purchased the knot rolls can return them to the store for a full refund.
