WinCo Foods LLC announced a recall of its 16-ounce hoagie rolls because the packaging did not declare sesame flour. The rolls were distributed to stores in California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington; no illnesses have been reported.
WinCo Foods LLC is recalling certain 16-ounce WinCo Foods Brand Hoagie Rolls because their labels do not declare sesame flour, a potential serious allergen for people with sesame allergies. The rolls were distributed to WinCo stores in seven western states, and the company says no illnesses have been reported.
The affected product is identified by UPC 2-70552-00649-2, a net weight of 16 ounces (454 grams), and best-by dates from September 10 through November 3, 2026. The date is printed on the bag in a format such as “Best if used by SEP 9.” Consumers should check the package and date information against the recall details before eating the rolls.
WinCo said the recall began after the manufacturer, United States Bakery, discovered that the packaging did not list sesame flour in either the ingredients or allergen statement. The affected rolls went to WinCo Foods retail stores in California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington.
The company advises consumers with a sesame allergy or sensitivity not to eat the product and to return it 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 or through the company’s online Contact Us form. The FDA’s recall notice says it published the company announcement as a public service; posting it does not mean the agency endorses the product or company.
The Sesame Labeling Risk
Sesame is a declared food allergen, and missing information on a package can prevent people with an allergy from recognizing that a product may be unsafe for them. WinCo warns that people with a sesame allergy or severe sensitivity who eat the rolls could face a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction. The notice does not say that every consumer faces the same risk; the warning is directed to people allergic or sensitive to sesame.
For shoppers, the UPC, package size and best-by dates provide practical ways to identify the affected rolls. People who have already bought hoagie rolls should not rely on the product name alone: they can compare the label details with the recall notice and, if the product matches and they have a sesame allergy or sensitivity, follow the company’s return guidance. The company’s report of no illnesses so far is a status update, not a reason for allergic consumers to disregard the warning.

How the Packaging Problem Was Found
The FDA notice is dated October 22, 2026 and describes the action as a company announcement. According to WinCo’s statement in the notice, the manufacturer found that the package failed to declare sesame flour in both the ingredient list and allergen statement. WinCo then initiated the recall, which the company says is being made with the knowledge of the FDA.
The notice identifies a specific product and distribution area rather than describing a recall of all WinCo breads or all hoagie rolls. It lists the WinCo Foods Brand, 16-ounce package, UPC and best-by-date range as the identifying details. The source material does not provide a total number of packages, a production lot number, or a count of stores or customers affected.
“People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to sesame may risk a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.”

Details the Notice Does Not Provide
The announcement does not state how many packages were recalled, the exact production or distribution dates, or how many stores received the rolls. It also does not explain how the labeling error occurred beyond saying that United States Bakery discovered sesame flour was missing from the packaging’s ingredient list and allergen statement.
WinCo reported that no illnesses had been reported when the notice was issued. The source does not provide a later case update, say whether additional affected dates or products could be identified, or describe the results of any investigation. Consumers with concerns about a particular package can contact WinCo directly using the number or online contact option in the announcement.
Returning the Affected Rolls
Consumers who identify a package matching the listed UPC, weight and best-by dates should not eat it if they have a sesame allergy or sensitivity. WinCo says customers can return affected rolls to their nearest WinCo Foods location for a refund. The company has not provided a deadline for returns in the announcement.
Customers seeking clarification can call the WinCo Foods Customer Service Desk at 1-800-824-1706 or use its online Contact Us form. The FDA notice does not state whether the agency or company plans another public update; readers should check WinCo’s customer information or subsequent FDA notices for any new details.
