Gaws Gourmet foods, a delicatessen located in Marysville, Michigan, has issued a recall on five varieties of their breakfast sandwiches due to the fact that they failed to declare sesame as an allergen, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reports. If you have food allergies, you know how important it is be cautious and check nutrition labels, so a mistake like this could put many at risk.
This recall includes three of their 8″ deli subs and two types of bagel sandwiches, all of which “were distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of sesame.” Find all of the details below.

In a statement outlining the recall issued by Gaw's Gourmet Foods, the FDA stated that "the recalled subs and sandwiches were distributed and also sold by retail stores and bars in southeast Michigan" and "people who have an allergy or sensitivity to sesame run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products."
The affected products, which are wrapped in clear plastic and have expiration dates ranging for 11/28/23 to 12/14/23, include Gaw's Ham & Cheddar and Salami & Cheese breakfast bagels, along with the Deluxe Italian, Classic Italian, and Ham and Cheese subs.

According to the FDA, the failure to list sesame as an allergen stems from "a breakdown in the company's labeling process." Subsequently, production of these sandwiches is currently halted.
