The company said: 'We will do our utmost to strengthen our quality controls to ensure this never happens again.
'We ask for your understanding and cooperation.'
The bread had been sold in several areas, including Ibaraki, Niigata, Kanagawa, Fukushima, Aomori and Tokyo.
The company also sells sandwiches, bagels and muffins.
