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.

Proving that the depths of personal idiocy is extremely difficult to shield yourself from nowadays.

A settlement will be given, and formal instructions will be made on how/where to put discount labels on packages.

Hire somebody to do all of your cooking. ALL of it!
Don’t even fetch a glass of water by yourself.
You are helpless!

Humans have been making bread for thousands of years.

In those thousands of years, there is no record of anyone dying from eating raw bread dough.

Prebiotic fibers act as “food” for beneficial gut bacteria, helping them thrive. Interestingly,
some prebiotic yeasts contain beta-glucans, which support immune system function and
overall health.

Bread yeast is beneficial for gut health.

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