WinCo Foods LLC of Boise, ID is recalling its store-brand WinCo Foods Hoagie Rolls because the packaging does not declare sesame flour. The company announced the recall on October 22, 2026, after its manufacturer, United States Bakery, discovered the labeling error. No illnesses have been reported. Protecting your household starts with a quick look at the bread bin and the freezer.
What's Being Recalled?
The recall covers WinCo Foods Hoagie Rolls in a 16 oz (1 LB, 454 g) package, UPC 2-70552-00649-2. Best-by dates run from 9/10/2026 to 11/3/2026. The date is printed on the bag in a month and day format, such as "Best if used by SEP 9." The rolls were sold at WinCo Foods retail stores in California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington. The announcement did not say how many bags were affected or what they cost. Because the date range stretches from past dates to ones still ahead, some bags may be well past their best-by date, while others have not reached it yet. Check your freezer too, since rolls are often stored there.
Why Was This Product Recalled?
The ingredient list and allergen statement on the package leave out sesame flour. For anyone with a sesame allergy or severe sensitivity, eating the rolls may cause a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction. Sesame is one of the nine major food allergens. This is an allergy alert, and the recall is being made with the knowledge of the FDA. People without a sesame allergy are not named as being at risk in the announcement.
What Should You Do?
If you or anyone in your home has a sesame allergy or sensitivity, do not eat these rolls. Check the UPC and the best-by date on the bag, then return any affected package to the nearest WinCo Foods location for a refund. Keeping the receipt handy can help, though a refund is what the company advises. Questions can go to the WinCo Foods Customer Service Desk at 1-800-824-1706, or through the Contact Us form on the WinCo Foods website. If someone has eaten the rolls and feels unwell, contact a health care provider.
