What bread was recalled in California?

On Thursday, Oct. 22, WinCo Foods LLC published a news release announcing the recall of 16 ounce packages of WinCo Foods Brand Hoagie Rolls.

The Best By Dates on the rolls are 9/10/2026–11/3/2026.

Why was bread recalled in California?

WinCo initiated the recall after the bread manufacturer, United States Bakery, determined the hoagie roll packaging did not declare the inclusion of sesame flour on the ingredient list and allergen statement.

According to the company, no illnesses have been reported.

For those with a sesame allergy, consuming products containing the seed can lead to anaphylaxis and cause breathing issues, cardiovascular distress, hives, and gastrointestinal problems. Severe allergic reactions can be life-threatening.
