1,093 Ready-to-Eat Sandwiches Recalled in Georgia and Florida Over Undeclared Egg
A total of 1,093 ready-to-eat sandwiches have been recalled in Georgia and Florida because the products contain egg that was not properly identified in the allergen statement on the package.
The recall involves Created Fresh! Cranberry Chicken Salad Wedge sandwiches distributed by FreshPoint Central Florida, Inc. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the recall on September 8, 2026, after the company discovered an issue during an internal review of its product labeling.
The sandwiches were sold through a convenience store customer in Georgia and Florida between August 19 and September 3, 2026. Consumers who have an egg allergy or a severe sensitivity to eggs are being warned not to eat the recalled product because consuming it could result in a serious or potentially life-threatening allergic reaction.
Which Sandwiches Are Included in the Recall?
The recalled product is the Created Fresh! Cranberry Chicken Salad Wedge Sandwich.
According to the FDA, the sandwiches are:
- Brand: Created Fresh!
- Product: Cranberry Chicken Salad Wedge Sandwich
- Size: 4.5 ounces
- UPC: 766375109617
- Packaging: Transparent plastic package
- Use-by dates: September 3 through September 17, 2026
- Distribution dates: August 19 through September 3, 2026
- States affected: Georgia and Florida
- Number of units recalled: 1,093
The use-by date is printed on the clear plastic container. Consumers who have purchased the sandwich should check their packaging carefully before eating it.
Why Were the Chicken Salad Sandwiches Recalled?
The recall was initiated because of an improperly declared egg allergen.
FreshPoint said egg was included in the product's ingredient list, but it was not identified in the separate allergen "Contains" statement on the package. The company discovered the labeling problem during an internal label review.
For people who are not allergic to eggs, the presence of egg itself is not necessarily a health concern. However, for someone with an egg allergy, failing to clearly identify egg on a food label can create a significant safety risk.
The FDA states that packaged foods must clearly identify major food allergens. Egg is one of the nine major food allergens recognized under U.S. federal law.
What Should Consumers Do With the Recalled Sandwiches?
Consumers who purchased one of the recalled Cranberry Chicken Salad Wedge sandwiches should not eat it if they have an egg allergy or severe sensitivity.
The FDA and FreshPoint advise consumers to discard the recalled product.
People who have questions about the recall can contact Hernan Martinez at 689-710-4467, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Time.
Consumers should also avoid relying solely on the product name when checking their refrigerator or recent purchases. The package size, UPC number and use-by date can help determine whether a particular sandwich is included in the recall.
No Illnesses Have Been Reported
As of the FDA's recall announcement, no illnesses associated with the recalled sandwiches had been reported.
That does not mean consumers with an egg allergy should disregard the warning. Food allergies can produce reactions that range from relatively mild symptoms to severe, potentially life-threatening reactions.
The FDA notes that food allergies cannot currently be cured, making avoidance of known allergens an important part of preventing allergic reactions.
If someone with a known egg allergy believes they have consumed the recalled sandwich and begins experiencing symptoms of an allergic reaction, they should seek appropriate medical attention promptly. Severe allergic reactions can require emergency treatment.
Why Proper Food Allergen Labels Matter
Food labels play an important role for millions of consumers who need to avoid specific ingredients.
The FDA recognizes nine major food allergens in the United States:
- Milk
- Eggs
- Fish
- Crustacean shellfish
- Tree nuts
- Peanuts
- Wheat
- Soybeans
- Sesame
Sesame became the ninth major food allergen under federal law in 2023.
Federal labeling requirements are intended to help consumers identify foods containing major allergens. An allergen can appear in an ingredient list, while a separate "Contains" statement may also provide a quick way for consumers to identify major allergens in a packaged product.
The FreshPoint recall illustrates why consumers with food allergies need to pay close attention to product labels and recall notices. Even when an allergenic ingredient appears somewhere in the ingredient list, an error in the allergen declaration can make it easier for consumers to overlook the potential risk.
What to Know About the Recall
The most important details for consumers in Georgia and Florida are straightforward.
If you purchased a 4.5-ounce Created Fresh! Cranberry Chicken Salad Wedge Sandwich during the affected distribution period, check the package for the UPC 766375109617 and use-by dates ranging from September 3 through September 17, 2026.
If the product matches the recalled information, do not consume it if you have an egg allergy or severe egg sensitivity. The FDA and FreshPoint recommend discarding the product.
The recalled sandwiches were distributed from August 19 through September 3 and went to a single convenience store customer in Georgia and Florida. The FDA has not reported any illnesses connected to the recalled sandwiches at the time of its announcement.
A Reminder to Check Food Recall Notices
Food recalls can happen for a variety of reasons, including undeclared allergens, contamination, incorrect labeling and other food safety concerns. Consumers can monitor FDA recall announcements for information about affected products and distribution areas.
The FDA maintains a searchable database of recalls, market withdrawals and safety alerts.
For consumers with food allergies, checking recall notices can be particularly important because an undeclared ingredient may not be obvious from the front of a package.
The FreshPoint sandwich recall is specifically an undeclared egg allergen recall, not a general warning that all chicken salad sandwiches or all Created Fresh! products are unsafe. Consumers should focus on the exact product information provided by the FDA when determining whether an item is affected.

FreshPoint has recalled 1,093 Created Fresh! Cranberry Chicken Salad Wedge sandwiches distributed in Georgia and Florida because egg was not properly identified in the product's allergen statement.
The affected sandwiches are 4.5 ounces, carry UPC 766375109617, and have use-by dates from September 3 through September 17, 2026. Consumers with an egg allergy or severe sensitivity should not eat the recalled product and should discard it.
