For workers in Oregon and Washington, start by checking workplace coolers, vending machines and cafeterias: Fresh & Ready Foods recalled 2,414 Fresh To You Sausage, Egg & Cheese Biscuit Sandwiches distributed from October 25 through November 4 because of possible listeria contamination.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration identifies the affected 4.6-ounce sandwiches by SKU 3100048, UPC 8 405493 0168 4, and best-by dates from Nov. 7 through Nov. 19. They are wrapped in clear plastic film and were distributed mainly to employee break rooms, refrigerated vending machines and cafeterias, rather than retail shelves. The USA Today reported on the recall; it was announced Nov. 7 and posted by FDA on Nov. 8.
The recall is tied to a larger recall of certain biscuit products by CH Guenther & Son, the same report notes. As of the report, no illnesses had been linked to the recalled sandwiches, according to Food Safety News, which added that consumers who purchased the affected product are urged not to consume it and to discard any remaining sandwiches immediately.
What Shoppers and Workers Should Do Now
Fresh & Ready Foods said no other Fresh To You or Fresh & Ready Foods products, production dates, or items made at its other facilities are affected, according to the FDA notice. Anyone with the recalled sandwiches should discard them without eating them. For a refund, customers can contact Fresh & Ready Foods at [email protected] or 1-855-424-8390.
Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a potentially serious infection. The consequences can be especially severe for adults over 65, people with weakened immune systems and pregnant women; infection during pregnancy can cause miscarriage, stillbirth, premature delivery or a life-threatening infection in a newborn. Other people can also develop gastrointestinal symptoms, and severe illness can be fatal.
Timeline of Symptoms to Watch
Symptoms may begin the same day as exposure or as late as 10 weeks afterward, though they usually start within two weeks, according to USA Today. They can include fever, muscle aches and diarrhea, as well as more serious signs such as confusion, loss of balance or convulsions. People at higher risk who develop flu-like symptoms within two months of eating a recalled sandwich should seek medical attention, the report advises.
Fresh & Ready Foods faced a separate listeria-related incident in 2025 at its San Fernando, California, manufacturing facility. That outbreak sickened and hospitalized 10 people and resulted in one death, according to Vending Times. It involved a different facility from the one connected to the current Oregon and Washington recall.
What the 2025 investigation established
In its investigation of the separate 2025 outbreak, the FDA said whole genome sequencing matched Listeria found at Fresh & Ready Foods’ San Fernando facility to the outbreak strain. That finding concerns the 2025 investigation and does not establish a connection to the current Renton recall.
How Oregon tracks listeriosis
Oregon’s reporting guidance does not establish how common listeriosis cases are, but it sets out how they are reported: physicians and laboratories must notify the local public health authority within one working day, and laboratories must also submit isolates to the Oregon State Public Health Laboratory, according to the Oregon Health Authority.
The Kansas City Star reported on the current recall. Workers checking workplace coolers and vending machines can compare any Fresh To You Sausage, Egg & Cheese Biscuit Sandwiches with the package identifiers and best-by dates above; recalled sandwiches should be discarded.
