Boichik Bagels Recalls Tuna Salad Over Undeclared Egg Allergen Warning

Boichik Bagels, Inc. of Berkeley, California is voluntarily recalling approximately 164 containers of its Tuna Salad due to an undeclared egg allergen in the product labeling. The recall was initiated on May 22, 2026, and poses a serious health risk to consumers who are allergic to eggs but may not be aware the product contains them.

The recalled product is Boichik Bagels Tuna Salad, sold in containers with the following sell-by dates:

• 05-22-26

The tuna salad contains mayonnaise made with whole eggs and egg yolks, yet the product label failed to include eggs in the allergen Contains statement. Only fish was listed, leaving egg-allergic consumers uninformed of the risk. A total of 164 containers are affected. Distribution was limited to the domestic market in California.

Why Was This Recall Issued?

The recall was triggered by the failure to declare eggs in the Contains allergen statement on the product packaging. The ingredient list does include mayonnaise, which in turn contains whole eggs and egg yolks. However, under U.S. food labeling regulations, major allergens such as eggs must be explicitly and clearly declared in a Contains statement to alert sensitive consumers.

The omission of eggs from the allergen declaration constitutes a labeling violation that puts consumers with egg allergies at risk of accidental exposure. This type of recall is classified as a food safety issue directly tied to allergen mislabeling, a significant concern regulated by the FDA under the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA).

Who Is Affected?

This recall specifically affects individuals who have a known allergy or sensitivity to eggs. Consumers who purchased Boichik Bagels Tuna Salad in California with any of the sell-by dates listed above should take immediate action. People who do not have an egg allergy are not at risk from this labeling issue but are still encouraged to check their containers.

Egg allergies are among the most common food allergies in the United States, particularly in children. Accidental consumption of eggs by an allergic individual can trigger reactions ranging from mild hives to life-threatening anaphylaxis, making this recall a matter of serious public health concern.

What Should You Do?

If you have purchased Boichik Bagels Tuna Salad with any of the affected sell-by dates and have an egg allergy or sensitivity, take the following steps immediately:

• Stop consuming the product right away.
• Check the sell-by date on your container against the list of affected dates above.
• Do not return the product to the store shelf or give it to others.
• Contact Boichik Bagels, Inc. directly to inquire about a refund or replacement.
• Recalling firm is located at: 1225 6th St, Berkeley, CA 94710-1401, United States.
