A significant recall has been initiated by La Fiesta Food Products due to the presence of an undeclared allergen in their bread crumb products. This move comes as a response to potential health risks posed to consumers who may have sesame allergies. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a notice regarding this matter, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation. Over 32,000 units of these products are affected, highlighting the scale of this precautionary measure.

The recall encompasses two specific varieties of La Fiesta brand bread crumbs: the unseasoned and seasoned versions. Both come in 8-ounce packages and were distributed nationwide through various retail channels. The unseasoned variety, identified by UPC#032327000886, had several lot codes distributed from April 10, 2024, to January 22, 2025. Meanwhile, the seasoned version, with UPC#032327000887, was sold from August 29, 2024, to the same end date. These products are packaged in transparent plastic bags with printed labels, and the lot code is visible on the front of each package. Despite the recall, no illnesses have been reported so far.

Sesame allergies can trigger severe or life-threatening reactions, making this recall crucial for consumer safety. The issue was identified through routine checks that uncovered labeling errors. To ensure public health, consumers are advised to return any purchased items to the point of sale for a full refund. This proactive approach underscores the company's commitment to maintaining high standards of product safety and customer well-being. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of thorough quality control measures in the food industry, ensuring that all products meet stringent safety regulations.
