The recall is sesame-related, but the sandwiches did not contain sesame seeds – rather, a component of the breakfast sandwiches was made of sesame flour.

“The problem was discovered when the producing establishment notified FSIS that the French toast component of their breakfast sandwiches contained sesame flour, but it was not included in the list of ingredients on the label for the breakfast sandwiches,” the USDA noted.
