Why the Sprig & Sprout and Fresh & Ready Burritos Were Pulled
Fresh & Ready Foods received two consumer complaints that sausage was present in burritos marketed as vegetarian. Because sausage ingredients include soy—one of the nine major food allergens that must be declared under the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA)—the company initiated a recall to protect soy-allergic individuals and to correct the vegetarian mislabeling.

FAQ: Sprig & Sprout & Fresh & Ready Burrito Recall
1. Is every Sprig & Sprout Spicy Breakfast Burrito included in the recall?
No. Only burritos made in Charlotte, NC between July 9–12, 2026 with a Fresh Thru date of 07/20/26 and UPC 1 00001 00029 7 are affected.
2. What should I do if I already ate the recalled Fresh & Ready Breakfast Burrito?
People without a soy allergy do not need to take action. Anyone who experiences symptoms such as hives, swelling, difficulty breathing, or dizziness should seek immediate medical care.
3. Can I get a refund for my Sprig & Sprout or Fresh & Ready Burrito purchase?
Yes. Contact Fresh & Ready Foods at 1-855-424-8390 or email RecallConcern@HotLineGlobal.com for refund instructions.
4. Why was sausage added to a vegetarian-labeled Sprig & Sprout Burrito?
The company says sausage was inadvertently mixed into the vegetarian burrito filling during production, leading to soy contamination and mislabeling.
5. Are products from other Fresh & Ready Foods facilities safe to eat?
Yes. The recall is limited to items produced at the Charlotte, NC facility; products made elsewhere are not part of this action.
6. Is it safe to freeze the recalled Sprig & Sprout Breakfast Burrito and eat it later?
No. Freezing does not remove the allergen. All recalled burritos, frozen or refrigerated, should be discarded or returned for a refund.

The company plans to resume distribution only after root-cause corrections and FDA approval. Check the official website or FDA recall updates for future production dates.
