Own a Fresh To You Biscuit Sandwich? It Was Recalled Over Listeria

Fresh & Ready Foods LLC is recalling 2,414 Fresh To You Sausage, Egg & Cheese Biscuit Sandwiches because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The FDA posted the company’s announcement on November 8, 2026. Anyone who bought one should not eat it and should throw out whatever is left.

This Fresh To You biscuit sandwich recall started with an ingredient. A separate recall by CH Guenther & Son covers certain biscuit products that may carry the same bacterium, and Fresh & Ready says it used the affected biscuit as an ingredient in this sandwich.

Products Affected by This Recall

Pick up the package and look at the front label. The sandwich weighs 4.6 oz and comes wrapped in clear plastic film, and the date to check is printed on that label.

• SKU 3100048
• Fresh Thru date from 11/07 to 11/19
• Date location: front label

Sandwiches with other production dates are not part of this recall, according to the notice.

Workplace food changes hands quickly, and wrappers tend to end up in the bin. If you still have the packaging, keep it until you have checked the label.

The Reason Behind the Recall

The company says the sandwiches have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The notice describes a possibility rather than a confirmed finding, and it does not mention test results.

Listeria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems, the company says. Otherwise healthy people may get short-term symptoms including nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, stiffness, severe headache and high fever. Among pregnant women, an infection can lead to miscarriage or stillbirth.

Where Were These Products Sold?

Fresh & Ready made the sandwiches at its facility in Renton, Washington. They went to employee break rooms, refrigerated vending and cafeterias in Oregon and Washington between October 25 and November 4, 2026.

The notice names no specific employers, vending operators or cafeterias, and it gives no price. It also lists no retail stores.

If your workplace keeps a chilled food case, look there first.

Someone who bought a sandwich days ago and kept no packaging cannot check the date. The notice offers no other way to identify the product, so the company contact line in the steps below is the place to ask.

Reading the Fresh Thru Date

In general, a Fresh Thru date is a freshness marker, not a safety guarantee. A package whose date falls inside the range in the notice is covered by the recall. Listeria usually does not change how food looks, smells or tastes, so a sandwich that seems fine is no reason to keep it.

What Listeria Infection Can Look Like

Listeriosis can be slow to show itself. Symptoms may appear days or even weeks after someone eats a contaminated food, so a person who ate a sandwich recently may feel fine today.

Doctors generally advise anyone who ate a recalled food and later develops symptoms to call a doctor and mention the recall. Pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems are often told to call sooner rather than wait for symptoms. Only a health professional can say whether testing or treatment is needed.

Why a Supplier Recall Reaches Other Foods

Food makers commonly buy ingredients such as biscuits from outside suppliers. When a supplier recalls an ingredient, each customer has to trace which of its finished foods contain it and pull them from sale. That is how a recall at one company can lead to a second recall at another.

Shoppers rarely see these links. The brand on this package is Fresh To You, but the biscuit inside came from a supplier whose own recall is tied to this one, according to the company’s notice.

Throwing the Sandwich Away

Food safety agencies generally advise sealing recalled food in a bag before it goes in the trash, so pets and other people cannot get to it. Listeria can keep growing at refrigerator temperatures. Wash your hands afterward and wipe any shelf or surface the package touched with hot soapy water.
