Undeclared Egg Allergen Prompts Recall of FreshPoint Chicken Salad Sandwiches

An undeclared allergen has triggered a voluntary recall of a ready-to-eat sandwich sold at convenience stores in the Southeast. FreshPoint Central Florida, Inc., based in Orlando, is pulling 1,093 units of its ‘Created Fresh!’ brand Cranberry Chicken Salad Wedge Sandwich after discovering that egg, a known allergen, was left off the product’s ‘Contains’ statement even though it appears in the ingredients list.

For most shoppers, the mislabeling is a minor paperwork slip. But for anyone with an egg allergy or severe sensitivity, it is a genuine safety hazard. People who eat the product without knowing it contains egg risk a serious or even life-threatening allergic reaction, according to the company’s announcement, which was posted publicly by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on September 8, 2026.

Products Affected by This Recall

The recall covers a single item: the ‘Created Fresh!’ Cranberry Chicken Salad Wedge Sandwich, sold in a 4.5oz pack inside a transparent plastic container. The product carries UPC 766375109617, and the ‘Use By’ date is printed directly on the clear packaging.

• Brand: Created Fresh!
• Product: Cranberry Chicken Salad Wedge Sandwich
• UPC: 766375109617
• Pack size: 4.5oz
• Use By dates covered: 9/3/2026 through 9/17/2026
• Units recalled: 1,093

What Went Wrong?

According to FreshPoint, the problem surfaced during an internal review of the product’s label. While egg was correctly listed among the sandwich’s ingredients, it was missing from the allergen ‘Contains’ statement that consumers rely on to quickly check for major allergens. Because that statement did not flag egg, someone with an allergy scanning the package for a warning could easily miss the risk.

The company has not reported any confirmed link between the labeling error and actual illnesses. As of the announcement date, no adverse reactions tied to the sandwiches had been reported to FreshPoint or regulators.

Who Should Be Concerned

The recalled sandwiches were distributed over a fairly narrow window, from August 19, 2026, through September 3, 2026, and went to a single convenience store customer with locations in Florida and Georgia. That means the exposure was limited compared with a nationwide recall, but anyone who shops at convenience stores carrying the ‘Created Fresh!’ brand in those two states should check their refrigerator.

Consumers who do not have an egg allergy are not considered to be at health risk from this labeling error, but the FDA and the company are still urging anyone who purchased the product to take precautions, particularly households where an allergic family member might unknowingly grab the wrong sandwich.

What Should You Do?

Anyone who bought a Cranberry Chicken Salad Wedge Sandwich under the ‘Created Fresh!’ label with a Use By date between 9/3/2026 and 9/17/2026 should not eat it. FreshPoint is advising customers to simply discard the product rather than attempt a return through the store.

Consumers with questions about the recall, or who want more information about the affected lots, can reach the company directly through its consumer contact line.

What the Company Said

In its statement, FreshPoint confirmed the scope of the recall and the reasoning behind it, noting that the egg allergen was present in the ingredient list but had not been carried over into the required allergen disclosure. The company said it identified the discrepancy on its own during a routine label check, rather than through a consumer complaint, and moved to recall the affected lots as a precaution for allergic consumers.
