"Customers reported finding the razor blades at a Walmart Supercenter and a Walmart Neighborhood Market, said Lt. Candace Young, a public information officer for the Biloxi Police Department. Walmart employees told police a customer first reported finding a razor blade in a loaf purchased from the Walmart Supercenter on Dec. 5. On Dec. 8, a customer who bought a loaf at the Walmart Neighborhood Market also reported finding a razor blade."
"In a press release, the department asked anyone who bought bread from those Walmart locations to inspect the loaves and report any findings. "The health and safety of our customers is always a top priority," Walmart said in a statement. "We have removed and thoroughly inspected all potentially affected products at impacted stores in Biloxi. We appreciate law enforcement for their swift action and will continue cooperating with them as they investigate.""

Customers found razor blades in loaves purchased at a Walmart Supercenter on Dec. 5 and a Walmart Neighborhood Market on Dec. 8. After another complaint, employees inspected merchandise and found several additional tampered loaves; police were notified on Monday. Walmart removed and thoroughly inspected potentially affected products, urged customers to check purchases, and offered full refunds for tampered items. The Biloxi Police Department said no other stores are believed to have been targeted.
