The hazard: Undeclared soy

The product contains soy that the packaging never declared. If nobody in your home avoids soy, there is no health reason to throw it away — though the refund still stands.

What the notice says: People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to soy run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

Why it matters: The label does not declare soy, so anyone who reads labels to avoid it has no way of knowing it is in there. For people without that allergy the product is safe to eat.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

An undeclared allergen is a danger only to people allergic or intolerant to that ingredient. For everyone else the food is safe. Reactions range from an itchy mouth, hives, stomach cramps or vomiting through to anaphylaxis — swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, a tight chest, wheezing, a sudden drop in blood pressure or collapse. If anaphylaxis is suspected, use an epinephrine auto-injector straight away and call 911, even if the symptoms seem to settle, because a second wave can follow hours later.

Spicy Breakfast Burritos

What the company announced

Charlotte, N.C. - Fresh & Ready Foods LLC is recalling a limited number of Sprig & Sprout Spicy Breakfast Burrito and Fresh and Ready Spicy Breakfast Burrito because they may contain undeclared soy. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to soy run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products. Consumers who do not consume meat should also not consume these products, as the recall was initiated after sausage was found in products labeled vegetarian.

The recalled products were distributed in Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia grab and go markets and vending machines.

The recall is limited to the products identified below that were produced at the Charlotte, North Carolina facility between July 9 and July 12, 2026, with the Fresh Thru date of July 20, 2026. All other products produced at the Charlotte facility are not impacted by this recall, and there is no impact on products produced at any other Fresh & Ready LLC facility.

  • Product: Sprig & Sprout Spicy Breakfast Burrito · Size: 8.3 oz (234g) · UPC Code: 1 00001 00029 7 · Fresh Thru:: 07/20/26
  • Product: Fresh and Ready Spicy Breakfast Burrito · Size: 8.2 oz (232g) · UPC Code: 1 00001 00029 7 · Fresh Thru:: 07/20/26

No illnesses or allergic reactions have been reported to date.

The recall was initiated following two customer complaints reporting the presence of sausage in a product labeled as vegetarian. The inadvertent inclusion of sausage resulted in the presence of soy, a major food allergen, which is not declared on the product label.

Consumers who have purchased the affected products are urged not to consume them and to discard any remaining product immediately. Consumers with questions or who would like to request a full refund may contact Fresh & Ready Foods by email at [email protected] or by calling 1-855-424-8390, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. ET.

This recall is being conducted in cooperation with the FDA.

What to do about Soy

Sprig & Sprout; Fresh and Ready — The product contains soy that the packaging never declared. If nobody in your home avoids soy, there is no health reason to throw it away — though the refund still stands.

  1. If anyone in your household avoids soy, stop serving the product immediately and check whether any was used in food already prepared.
  2. If a reaction has already happened, report it to the FDA through its consumer complaint coordinator so the case is attached to this recall.
  3. Tell anyone else who eats from your kitchen, including childminders, schools and anyone catering an event you contributed to.
  4. Keep the pack if you want a refund, or photograph the label and the lot code and then bin it. If nobody in the house avoids soy, you may simply eat it — the recall is about disclosure, not spoilage.

Getting a refund without the pack

The commonest reason people skip the refund is that they have already thrown the item away. That rarely matters.

  • A photo of the label and lot code is accepted by most grocers, and so is a card statement line showing the purchase.
  • Store credit is often offered first. You can ask for the original payment method instead, and it is normally granted.
  • No photo either? Ask anyway. Grocery chains settle recall refunds at the service desk because disputing them costs more than paying them.
  • For a multi-pack or a case, ask for the full purchase price rather than a per-unit figure — the recall covers what you paid.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers who have purchased the affected products are urged not to consume them and to discard any remaining product immediately.
