Almost 490,000 Pounds of Breakfast Food Have Been Recalled
We all know breakfast is the most important meal, and sometimes a convenient option like a premade breakfast sandwich is the difference between being fueled for the day or going hungry.
But for the 33 million Americans who have food allergies, checking those on-the-go ingredient labels can prevent allergic reactions ranging from hives to anaphylaxis, according to the nonprofit Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE). A new recall focused on two types of breakfast items means some individuals may have been exposed to one of the most common food allergens in the U.S.
On Wednesday afternoon, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced a recall of approximately 489,887 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) sausage and bacon breakfast sandwich products from Hearthside Food Solutions, LLC.
The FSIS says the recall is due to “Misbranding and an undeclared allergen” of sesame. The problem was first discovered “when the producing establishment notified FSIS that the French toast component of their breakfast sandwiches contained sesame flour,” despite sesame flour not being listed on the breakfast sandwiches’ ingredient labels.
A brief web search suggests Hearthside, described as “a leading food contract manufacturer,” was rebranded to the name Maker’s Pride just last month, according to Business Wire.
The recalled products were produced between April 1, 2023 and March 25, 2025, with 12-month shelf lives. Additional details included:
