WinCo recalls hoagie rolls over undeclared sesame in seven states

WinCo Foods is recalling its branded hoagie rolls sold through stores in seven western US states because the packaging does not declare sesame. The company’s October 22 announcement identifies a 16-ounce bag and advises consumers with a sesame allergy or sensitivity not to eat the affected rolls.

The recall followed a discovery by manufacturer United States Bakery that sesame flour had been omitted from both the ingredient list and the allergen statement on the packaging. WinCo said no illnesses had been reported when it issued the announcement.

Check the product details

The recalled product is WinCo Foods Hoagie Rolls, weighing 16 ounces, or one pound (454g). Its UPC is 2-70552-00649-2. The announcement lists best-by dates as 9/10/2026–11/3/2026, meaning September 10 through November 3, 2026 in US month/day order.

WinCo says the best-by marking is printed on the bag. Its notice uses “Best if used by SEP 9” to illustrate the format of that marking; the affected date range is listed separately above. Shoppers who are unsure whether their bag matches can contact the company with the product details.

Company advice for shoppers

The announcement warns that people with a sesame allergy or severe sensitivity could face a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the product. It advises consumers with a sesame allergy or sensitivity not to eat the rolls and to return them to their nearest WinCo Foods location for a refund.

Questions can be directed to the WinCo Foods Customer Service Desk at 1-800-824-1706. The company also provides an online customer-service contact form through the links in its announcement.

The Food and Drug Administration published the company notice on October 22. The notice identifies this particular product, UPC and date range; it does not announce a recall of every WinCo bakery item. The statement about no reported illnesses reflects the information given in that dated announcement.
