Hearthside Food Solutions, LLC, of Salt Lake City, UT, is recalling approximately 489,887 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) sausage and bacon breakfast sandwich products because of misbranding and an undeclared allergen, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
The products contain sesame — a known allergen — not listed on the label, posing a risk to some consumers.
The issue came to light when Hearthside Food Solutions alerted FSIS that the French toast component in these sandwiches contained sesame flour, an ingredient omitted from the product labels.
The recalled products were shipped to Army & Air Force Exchange Services (AAFES) locations nationwide. FSIS worries that some of these sandwiches may still be in consumers’ freezers or refrigerators at AAFES sites.
The frozen RTE breakfast sandwiches were produced between April 1, 2023, and March 25, 2025, with a 12-month shelf life.
Recalled product:
- 8.35-oz. individually film-wrapped “LETTIERI’S FOOD TO GO Sausage, Egg & Cheese FRENCH TOAST BREAKFAST SANDWICH” with lot codes beginning with 23, 24, and 25 up to 2508451.
- 7.3-oz. individually film-wrapped “LETTIERI’S FOOD TO GO Bacon, Egg & Cheese FRENCH TOAST BREAKFAST SANDWICH” with lot codes beginning with 23, 24, and 25 up to 2508451.
The recalled products bear the establishment number “EST. V4907” inside the USDA mark of inspection.
As of the posting of this recall, no confirmed adverse reactions have been reported, but anyone concerned about potential illness should contact a healthcare provider.
Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to eat them and should discard them or return them to the place of purchase.
