Fresh & Ready Foods announced a recall of 2,414 Fresh to You Sausage, Egg & Cheese Biscuit Sandwiches that were distributed to employee break rooms, refrigerated vending machines and cafeterias in Oregon and Washington. The recall follows a U.S. Food and Drug Administration notice that the sandwiches may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
Details of the recalled product
The affected sandwiches are packaged in 4.6‑ounce containers with “Fresh Thru” dates ranging from Nov. 7 through Nov. 19. Each package bears SKU 3100048 and UPC 8 405493 0168 4. The sandwiches were produced at a Fresh & Ready facility in Renton, Washington, and shipped between Oct. 25 and Nov. 4.
Connection to a broader biscuit recall
The recall is linked to a separate recall by CH Guenther & Son involving biscuits that may also be contaminated with Listeria. Fresh & Ready Foods confirmed that the recalled biscuits were used in the sandwich production.
Health risk information
Listeria can cause serious, sometimes deadly infections, especially in young children, older adults and individuals with weakened immune systems. Pregnant people face additional risks, including miscarriage or stillbirth. Healthy adults may experience fever, headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea.
What consumers should do
Anyone who purchased the recalled sandwiches should not eat them and should discard any remaining product. For a full refund or additional questions, consumers can contact Fresh & Ready Foods at [email protected] or call 855‑424‑8390, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern time.
No reported illnesses
As of the announcement, no illnesses have been linked to the recalled sandwiches. The company also stated that no other Fresh to You or Fresh & Ready Foods products, production dates or items made at other Fresh & Ready facilities are affected.
