January 1, Razor Blades Found Hidden in Mississippi Walmart Bread

Wyatt’s Take

• A Texas woman is accused of putting razor blades in bread at two Mississippi Walmarts.
• Customers found the hidden blades over several days, sparking police action.
• Walmart is working with law enforcement and urging shoppers to check their bread.

Shopper safety got rattled in Biloxi, Mississippi, when police arrested 33-year-old Camille Benson of Texas. She faces charges for allegedly putting razor blades in loaves of bread at two Walmart locations.

The first case popped up on December 5, when a Supercenter customer reported finding a razor blade inside their purchased bread. Just three days later, a similar complaint hit the Neighborhood Market store.

More reports followed over the week. By December 14, Walmart employees discovered even more tainted loaves after another customer raised the alarm at the Supercenter. Two additional complaints came in on December 15.

Officials set Benson’s bond at $100,000, and she currently sits in jail. Police say they’re still looking into why this happened, and they don’t believe other stores in the area are involved.

Walmart is telling customers who worry their bread might be affected to throw it out and come get a full refund.

“The health and safety of our customers is always a top priority,” a Walmart spokesperson explained. “We appreciate law enforcement for their swift action and will continue cooperating with them as they investigate.”

Anyone who bought bread in Biloxi Walmart stores is being asked to inspect it for anything unsafe.
