Listeria risk and health concerns
Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that may be life-threatening for young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. Infection during pregnancy can result in miscarriage or stillbirth. The FDA also lists symptoms such as fever, headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea among those that may occur in otherwise healthy individuals.
The FDA announcement identifies the potential contamination risk but does not explain how the affected biscuit products may have become contaminated.
Food Safety Insight
“A supplier recall does not automatically mean that every product made by a manufacturer is affected. The scope depends on where the implicated ingredient was actually used. For manufacturers, being able to connect supplier information with individual formulations and production records is essential to establishing which finished products require action and which fall outside the affected scope,” said Kristina Gaynilo, Food Safety QA at Source86.
Here’s what you should do
- Consumers who purchased the affected Fresh to You Sausage, Egg & Cheese Biscuit Sandwich should not eat it and should discard any remaining product.
- For questions or to request a full refund, contact Fresh & Ready Foods at [email protected] or 1-855-424-8390, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. ET.
Behind the brand
Fresh & Ready Foods LLC manufactures grab-and-go foods, including sandwiches, salads, wraps, and prepared meals.
In September 2025, the FDA issued a warning letter to Compass Group USA following an inspection of a separate Fresh & Ready Foods facility in San Fernando, California, conducted as part of a multistate Listeria monocytogenes outbreak investigation. On April 22, 2026, the FDA issued a closeout letter stating that it had no further comments on the corrective actions it had evaluated. The agency said it would verify their effectiveness during a future inspection.
Other relevant recalls
Source86 has also covered other Listeria monocytogenes recalls in refrigerated, ready-to-eat foods, including Made Fresh Salads’ deli salads and cream cheese, and City Foods’ pastrami and corned beef.
Regulatory context
This recall was initiated by Fresh & Ready Foods LLC, rather than announced as an FDA-ordered action. The FDA published the company’s announcement to make the recall information available to the public. The agency notes that posting a company recall announcement does not constitute an endorsement of the product or manufacturer.
Ensuring safe eats
Foodservice operators should check refrigerated inventory in employee break rooms, vending machines, and cafeterias for the recalled Fresh to You Sausage, Egg & Cheese Biscuit Sandwich. Any matching product should be removed from service and discarded rather than offered or consumed. Operators responsible for these locations should review inventory records and check product identifiers, including SKU 3100048 and UPC 8 405493 0168 4, to identify any remaining units from the affected distribution period.
Food businesses seeking assistance with ingredient sourcing, food safety and quality assurance, or private-label manufacturing can contact Source86 to discuss their operational needs and supply chain requirements.
