Bread Quality Problems Attributed To Inferior Yeast In Louisiana

KATC has received several messages and calls about a problem viewers say is affecting the bread aisles around Acadiana. 

Viewers say that they have noticed in recent weeks that bread purchased from several stores around Acadiana has a strange smell and a different flavor than normal. The smell and taste, according to viewers, was affected in several bread products including Evangeline Maid. 

We reached out to Flowers Foods, the company that oversees several bakeries in Acadiana and across the country, for comment. The company says that a recent shipment of inferior yeast from a supplier has impacted the quality and production of foodservice and retail bread and buns for some of its bakeries.
