Hillside Quickie Too Recalls Seitan Steak Sandwiches for Allergen Mislabeling

Hillside Quickie Too is recalling Seitan Steak sandwiches because the wheat bun was not listed in the 'Contains' statement, posing a risk to consumers with wheat allergies.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (wheat), which fits the criteria for a High severity score (3) as it poses a significant risk to sensitive individuals, even without reported illnesses.

Plain-English summary

Hillside Quickie Too is recalling Seitan Steak sandwiches, which are tofu sandwiches on bread or a bun enclosed in a clam shell with a label. The recall is due to a labeling error where the wheat bun is declared in the Ingredients statement, but the 'Contains' statement only declared Soy. This omission means that consumers with wheat allergies may not be aware of the presence of wheat in the product.

The affected products were distributed in Washington. The recall includes items with the following use-by dates: 08 30 (August 30th) and 09 02 (September 2nd). Consumers should check their pantries for these specific products and dispose of them or return them to the place of purchase if they have wheat allergies or sensitivities.
