WinCo Recalls Its Hoagie Rolls Over Sesame Missing From the Label: Sold in Seven States, Best-By Dates Through November 3
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) posted a recall announcement from WinCo Foods on October 22, 2026: the Boise, Idaho-based grocery chain is recalling its store-brand hoagie rolls because they contain sesame flour that appears neither in the ingredient list nor in the allergen statement on the packaging. People with an allergy or severe sensitivity to sesame may risk a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they eat the product.
The identifiers are precise. The product is WinCo Foods Hoagie Rolls in a 16-ounce (1 pound, 454 gram) bag, UPC 2-70552-00649-2, with best-by dates from September 10, 2026 through November 3, 2026, printed on the bag in the format "Best if used by SEP 9." The rolls were distributed to WinCo Foods stores in seven states: California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington.
The error surfaced at the manufacturer. United States Bakery, which makes the rolls, discovered that the packaging did not declare sesame flour, and WinCo initiated the recall with the knowledge of the FDA. No illnesses had been reported as of the announcement. Sesame has been the ninth major food allergen under federal law since 2023, which is why its absence from the label is a recall-level problem.
The remedy is in the announcement: consumers with a sesame sensitivity should not eat the rolls and may return them to any WinCo Foods location for a refund, and questions go to the WinCo Foods Customer Service Desk at 1-800-824-1706. Because the latest best-by date was November 3, most packages are already past date or finished, but any bag still at home should be checked against the UPC and date range.
