Don't freak out, but over a dozen bread products have been recalled in Australia (yes, again), after they were found to contain shards of metal.

The New South Wales Food Authority issued a recall notice Thursday, listing 17 types of bread sold in supermarket giants Coles, Woolworths, IGA and a basically thousands of corner stores and family grocers through the states of New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory.

The food authority stated "This recall is the result of the potential presence of foreign matter (metal pieces) which may cause injury if consumed," adding "consumers should not eat this product."

Well, no sh*t -- can't imagine anyone would want to, having learnt said products are full of actual, incredibly dangerous pieces of probably-metal.

Processing equipment is being blamed for the tiny pieces of pain. Considering there's not one but two football grand final events being held in Australia this weekend (that's a lot of BBQs and hotdogs), the authority's announcement couldn't have come at a worse time.

The mishap comes only a month after another nation-wide supermarket chain, ALDI, was forced to recall bread rolls found to contain "metal shavings."

If you've copped any of the following doughy treats, with a "best before" date of October 2, 2016. Please don't eat them.
