Walmart sued by customer after he ate raw bake-to-eat bread that expanded in his STOMACH
UK Daily Mail ^ | 5 February 2026 | WILKO MARTÍNEZ-CACHERO

Douglas bought the bread on September 22, 2025, at the Walmart store located at 1575 Space Center Drive in Colorado Springs, per the lawsuit.

The loaf of MarketSide-branded bread allegedly had a 'sell-by' label placed directly over its preparation instructions.

This included the detail that the bread was actually a 'take and bake' product, rather than ready-to-eat.

A Colorado man sued Walmart after he claimed to suffer 'severe' injuries from eating raw bake-to-eat bread that allegedly expanded in his stomach.

Jordan T. Douglas, of El Paso County, said he spent three days at UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central after ingesting the bread from the bog box retailer.

Douglas filed a personal injury lawsuit on Tuesday in district court, alleging the bread sent him rushing to the hospital after repeatedly vomiting.

He claimed medical imaging showed a 'gastrointestinal obstruction caused by the expansion of uncooked dough', per the complaint obtained by Courthouse News.

He also alleged Walmart obscured the product's preparation instructions with a 'sell-by' label.

As a result, Douglas said he believed the bread was 'substantially baked' and already safe to consume.

He ate the loaf during his lunch break but soon developed 'severe abdominal pain and related symptoms.'

Douglas accused Walmart of 'altering product packaging' in a way that created an 'unreasonable risk of harm to customers.' He is seeking compensatory damages.

The guy was just stupid. Walmart should sue him back for being a dope.

“So am I to understand from this article this guy ate an entire loaf of unbaked bread and didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.”

There is a whole thread on reddit about people eating without baking it.

“Um what person could not tell baked bread from partially baked bread let alone bread so undercooked it would expand in one’s stomach?”

Try it before posting. Lots of people have.

“Dummy’s tummy got an ache, he ate bread he did not bake.”

It was baked before he ate it.

So that was the show where I saw a dummy eat bread dough and go to the emergency room! Stuck in my memory.

I guess they’ll be adding yet another “I can’t believe we have to write this” warning to indemnify themselves against yet another of the ever-growing list of unbelievably stupid things people do.

50 years ago…

…that was a subplot on an episode of Emergency!

A doofus was wheeled into Rampart who ate a bowl of raw cookie dough that distended his stomach…

This is the kind of crap that keeps prices especially insurance. As stupid as he is the jury will still award him big bucks.
