The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a recall affecting approximately 32,640 packages of La Fiesta brand breadcrumbs due to the presence of an undeclared allergen — sesame.

Consumers with sesame allergies could be at risk of severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis.

Two La Fiesta breadcrumb products are included in the recall:

The breadcrumbs may contain sesame, an allergen that is not listed on the packaging. For individuals with a sesame allergy, consuming these products could lead to severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, which can be life-threatening.

If you or someone you know experiences any of these symptoms after consuming the recalled breadcrumbs, call 911.
