General Mills has recalled more than 730,000 Pillsbury rolls sold to Walmart over concerns they may contain glass fragments, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

The recall affects two Pillsbury products, including 3,080 cases of Hard Roll Dough (180 rolls per case), totaling 554,400, and 1,080 cases of Kaiser Roll Dough (144 rolls per case), totaling 181,440. The FDA says the batches were sold to Walmart and used to make rolls for its in-store bakeries. Rolls made with the affected dough have been pulled from store shelves.
