Boichik Bagels, Inc. — Class II: boichik bagles Pumpernickel Mix Bagels 6 pre-sliced bagels NET WT 26.5 OZ (1.66 LB) 750g
Boichik Bagels, Inc. initiated a Class II recall for Pumpernickel Mix Bagels (6-count, 26.5 oz) due to undeclared sesame. The product label listed wheat but failed to explicitly declare sesame seeds which may be present in topped variations.
This recall affects Boichik Bagels, Inc., specifically their manufacturing and distribution units in Berkeley, CA, as well as downstream retailers and food safety compliance teams.
This enforcement action highlights the critical importance of allergen labeling accuracy, particularly for multi-ingredient or topped bakery products where secondary ingredients like sesame can be overlooked. The Class II designation suggests that exposure to the undeclared allergen could cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences. Regulatory teams should interpret this as a signal to tighten controls over 'Topped flavor' labeling disclosures.
QA teams should conduct immediate label reconciliation for all pumpernickel products to ensure allergen declarations align with current topping formulations. Review allergen cross-contact controls and label verification workflows to prevent future omissions of major allergens like sesame.
