The FDA posted a recall announcement on Nov. 8 for 2,414 Sausage, Egg & Cheese Biscuit Sandwiches from Fresh & Ready Foods sold in Oregon and Washington. The sandwiches carry Fresh Thru dates of 11/07 through 11/19 on the front label. They were distributed through employee break rooms, refrigerated vending machines and cafeterias.
What the FDA Notice Says
The FDA’s recalls page carries a company announcement dated Nov. 7, 2026, from Fresh & Ready Foods LLC of Renton, Washington. The FDA’s summary page lists the announcement date as Nov. 8, while the text of the announcement is dated Nov. 7. The company says it is recalling 2,414 of the sandwiches because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The FDA notes on the page that it posts a company’s announcement as a public service and does not endorse the product or the company.
The summary at the top of the FDA page lists the product type as food and beverages, the announcement type as a recall, and the reason as the potential for contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. The company named on the page is Fresh & Ready Foods LLC, and the sandwich is listed under the Fresh brand name that appears in the headline.
Renton, where the sandwiches were produced, is a city in King County, about 11 miles southeast of Seattle, according to Wikipedia. The company’s announcement says the recalled sandwiches were made at its Renton facility.
How to Identify the Recalled Sandwich
The recall covers one product. It is the Sausage, Egg & Cheese Biscuit Sandwich in a 4.6-ounce size, packaged in clear plastic film. The SKU is 3100048 and the UPC is 8 405493 0168 4.
The Fresh Thru dates are 11/07 through 11/19, printed on the front label. The announcement lists no lot codes, so the label date, the SKU and the UPC are the identifiers it gives. Frenz Hub has a post titled Breakfast Station: Top Picks for 2026.
Break Rooms, Vending and Cafeterias
The sandwiches were distributed in Oregon and Washington between Oct. 25 and Nov. 4, 2026, according to the company, a shipping window of about a week and a half. The channels named are employee break rooms, refrigerated vending and cafeterias, and no retail stores are listed in the announcement. Food Safety News, in a Nov. 8 report, repeated the same states, channels and dates. Frenz Hub has a post titled 15 Easy-to-Use Products That Simplify Everyday Life at Home.
Breakfast sandwiches are typically built from breakfast meats such as sausage, along with bread, eggs and cheese, and Wikipedia notes they are sold at fast food restaurants, delis and supermarkets. The recalled sandwich reached buyers through workplace channels instead. Vending machines were first developed in England in the early 1880s, Wikipedia says, and refrigerated vending is one of the channels named for the recalled sandwiches.

The Biscuit Supplier Connection
The company says the recall is in connection with a recall initiated by CH Guenther & Son for certain biscuit products that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. Fresh & Ready Foods used the affected biscuit as an ingredient only in this one sandwich, the announcement states.
No other products from the brand or from Fresh & Ready Foods, production dates or products made at other Fresh & Ready facilities are affected, according to the company. Food Safety News, which published its report the evening of Nov. 8 in its recalls section, repeated that scope. A sister-site post is titled 8 Things That Don’t Belong on a Kitchen Counter.
What the Company Says to Do With the Sandwiches
The company urges anyone who bought the affected product not to consume it and to discard any remaining product immediately. That instruction appears in the announcement and in the Food Safety News report.
Questions and refund requests go to Fresh & Ready Foods. The company lists a phone number, 1-855-424-8390, staffed Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern time, and the announcement says consumers who bought the product can request a full refund.

How the Recall Was Reported
News site WhatNow reported on Nov. 9 that the FDA issued the recall on Nov. 8 and that the sandwiches were sent mainly to institutional locations. Like Food Safety News, it gave the unit count as 2,414. It also repeated the SKU, the UPC and the Fresh Thru range, and it said the company learned that an ingredient used by its supplier may be compromised. The FDA’s recalls page is where company announcements of this kind are posted.
A Reality Check on the Recall
The reports differ slightly on distribution. WhatNow says the sandwiches were sent to multiple locations and stores across Oregon and Washington, while the company’s announcement, as posted by the FDA, names only employee break rooms, refrigerated vending and cafeterias and lists no retail stores. The announcement is the more specific of the two, and it is the document the FDA reproduced on its recall page. Neither report names a retail chain, a store or a vending operator.
The recall is narrow by the company’s own account: one sandwich, one SKU, one UPC and one run of Fresh Thru dates. The dates end on Nov. 19, so every sandwich dated within that range falls inside the recall. The FDA page states its content was current as of Nov. 8, and the company’s contact details are the route the announcement lists for refunds and questions.
