Check Your Breakfast Burritos: Possible Undeclared Soy Allergen (Sprig & Sprout / Fresh and Ready)
If you have frozen breakfast burritos from Sprig & Sprout or Fresh and Ready, take a moment to check the exact package identifiers. The FDA says some spicy breakfast burritos may contain undeclared soy—an allergen issue that could affect people with soy allergies or who need to avoid soy.
FDA reports no illnesses or allergic reactions have been reported to date for this issue.
What’s being recalled (and why you should check)
Product: Spicy breakfast burritos sold under these brand names:
Sprig & Sprout and Fresh and Ready
Action: FDA recall (consumers should not eat the affected burritos)
Reason: Possible undeclared soy allergen
According to the FDA, the soy concern is related to sausage being found in products labeled “vegetarian.” That means the burritos may contain soy that was not declared on the label—so the safest move is to avoid the affected packages if you (or anyone you feed) has a soy allergy.
Where and when these burritos were produced
This recall is limited to burritos produced at the Charlotte, North Carolina facility during the following production window:
- July 9, 2026 through July 12, 2026
The FDA notice also identifies the consumer check as a specific “Fresh Thru” date of July 20, 2026.
How to check your package at home (brand + UPC + Fresh Thru date)
Before you serve or refreeze anything, pull the package from your freezer and look for the exact match to the FDA identifiers.
- Brand name: Confirm it’s Sprig & Sprout or Fresh and Ready as listed in the FDA notice.
- UPC (required): Check the UPC on your package against the UPCs listed by FDA for this recall.
- “Fresh Thru” date: If your package shows a Fresh Thru date of July 20, 2026, treat it as part of the recall—unless FDA indicates otherwise for your exact UPC.
If the brand/UPC/Fresh Thru date don’t match the FDA list, it’s not part of this specific recall. For allergy planning, though, always follow the label as written and double-check when you’re feeding someone with a diagnosed allergy.
What to do now (discard/return for a refund)
The FDA’s consumer guidance is clear: do not eat the affected burritos.
Your next steps:
- Discard the affected burritos, and/or
- Return the affected product to the place of purchase and request a refund (follow the instructions described in the FDA notice).
If you have questions or need help confirming the identifiers, contact Fresh & Ready Foods LLC using the FDA contact information included in the official notice.
Who should be extra careful?
This recall matters most for households with:
- soy allergy (or anyone avoiding soy for medical or personal reasons)
- anyone who relies on strict allergen labeling when choosing packaged foods
Even though these burritos were labeled “vegetarian,” FDA’s concern is that sausage-derived ingredients may be involved for the affected products, which can create an undeclared allergen risk.
What FDA says so far
In its recall notice, FDA states that no illnesses or allergic reactions have been reported to date related to this issue.
Calm next steps for families
Here’s the quick checklist I’d use in real life:
- Find your Sprig & Sprout or Fresh and Ready spicy breakfast burrito packages.
- Check the UPC and the package’s “Fresh Thru” date (the FDA date listed here is July 20, 2026).
- If there’s a match, don’t serve it to anyone with a soy allergy—discard and/or return for a refund as FDA instructs.
If it’s not the exact UPC/date listed by FDA, it’s not part of this recall. Still, for allergy-sensitive meals, label checks are worth the extra minute every time.
