FDA Warning: 3 Major Biscuit Recalls You Must Know About Right Now (December 2025)
As of December 22, 2025, consumers are urged to check their pantries for several popular biscuit and snack products following multiple high-risk recalls issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These alerts are not minor labeling issues; they involve undeclared major food allergens such as egg, milk, and wheat, posing a severe, potentially life-threatening risk to individuals with food allergies. The FDA has categorized some of these as Class II risk alerts, meaning the products could cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, with a remote probability of serious consequences.
The recent wave of recalls highlights a critical vulnerability in global food supply chain labeling practices, affecting everything from international snack rolls to major domestic fast-food brand mixes. This deep dive details the three most significant biscuit-related recalls of 2025, the specific products involved, and the immediate steps you must take to protect your family's health.
The 3 Critical Biscuit and Snack Recalls of 2025
The FDA’s enforcement reports and public safety alerts detail a concerning trend of mislabeled products. The following three recalls represent the most relevant and high-risk alerts for biscuit and biscuit-related products issued in 2025. Each case involves a failure to properly declare a major food allergen, which is one of the primary causes of severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis.
1. Ulker Brand Snack Rolls, Biscuits, and Wafers (February 2025)
One of the largest recalls in the "biscuit" category for 2025 involved a wide variety of imported snack products. ZB Importing LLC initiated a voluntary recall of six varieties of Ülker Brand snack rolls, biscuits, and wafers across multiple states in February 2025.
The Core Issue: The recall was issued due to the presence of undeclared allergens, specifically wheat, egg, and/or milk.
These are three of the nine major food allergens that must be clearly listed on food labels under federal law. For individuals with celiac disease or severe dairy or egg allergies, consuming these mislabeled products could result in a serious allergic reaction.
Key Entities Recalled:
- Six varieties of Ülker Brand snack rolls.
- Ülker Brand biscuits.
- Ülker Brand wafers.
The sheer number of products and the combination of undeclared allergens made this a significant public health alert, prompting widespread removal from store shelves across the 35 states where the snacks were distributed.
2. Chick-fil-A Biscuit Mix (August 2025)
In August 2025, a recall was issued for a biscuit mix packed exclusively for the popular fast-food chain Chick-fil-A. This recall received a high-level consumer risk warning from the FDA.
The Core Issue: The biscuit mix was recalled due to a potential undeclared egg allergen.
The FDA assigned this recall a Class II risk alert, which is the second-highest risk classification. A Class II alert is issued when the consumption of the product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, though the probability of serious consequences is remote.
Product Details:
- Product: Biscuit Mix (packed exclusively for Chick-fil-A).
- Allergen: Undeclared Egg.
- Scope: The recall involved 150 cases of the mix.
While the recall involved a mix used in commercial settings, the FDA warning is a serious reminder that supply chain breakdowns can affect even the most established food service operations. Consumers with an egg allergy who may have purchased similar products in the past or were exposed to the mix need to be aware.
3. Shang Hao Jia Inc. Soda Biscuits (July 2025)
The third major alert involves a California-based company, Shang Hao Jia Inc., which issued a voluntary recall for select lots of its soda biscuits in July 2025. This recall was a direct result of a labeling error and prompted a risk warning from the FDA.
The Core Issue: The recall was initiated because the labels on the soda biscuits did not declare all the ingredients, leading to a risk of undeclared allergens.
Undeclared ingredients can be extremely dangerous. A labeling error means that consumers relying on the ingredient list to manage a food allergy—such as to soy, nuts, or milk—would be unknowingly exposed to a potentially fatal trigger. The FDA's risk warning underscores the severity of this type of misbranding.
Product Details:
- Company: Shang Hao Jia Inc. (California).
- Product: Select lots of three varieties of soda biscuits.
- Reason: Labeling error/undeclared ingredients.
This incident serves as a crucial reminder that imported and specialty snack foods must be checked carefully for proper allergen declarations, as labeling standards can sometimes be inconsistent or prone to error.
Understanding the Health Risk: Why Undeclared Allergens are a Class II Threat
The term "undeclared allergen" is one of the most common reasons for an FDA food recall, and it carries significant health consequences. When an allergen like wheat, egg, or milk is present but not listed on the label, it creates an invisible hazard for millions of Americans with food sensitivities.
The Danger of Anaphylaxis: For highly sensitive individuals, consuming even trace amounts of an undeclared allergen can trigger anaphylaxis, a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction. Symptoms can escalate rapidly and include:
- Difficulty breathing or wheezing.
- Swelling of the throat, tongue, or lips.
- Hives, itching, or rash.
- Dizziness or fainting.
- Gastrointestinal symptoms (vomiting, diarrhea).
The FDA’s Class II designation for the Chick-fil-A mix recall signifies that while the risk of death is low, the potential for a severe, emergency-room-level adverse health event is real and must be taken seriously by consumers and retailers.
What Consumers Must Do Immediately
If you have purchased any of the recalled products, immediate action is required. Food safety experts and the FDA consistently advise the same protocol for recalled items to prevent accidental consumption:
1. Verify the Product: Check your biscuit and snack inventory against the recall details, particularly the brand names (Ülker, Shang Hao Jia, Chick-fil-A mix) and the dates mentioned (February, July, August 2025). If specific lot codes were released by the FDA and you have a known allergy, check those as well.
2. Do Not Eat It: If you identify a recalled product, do not consume it. This is non-negotiable, especially if you or a family member has a known allergy to wheat, egg, or milk. The risk is too high to ignore.
3. Dispose or Return: Immediately dispose of the product in a manner that prevents others (including pets) from consuming it, or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Many companies will issue a refund even without the physical product if you can provide proof of purchase or a photo of the packaging.
4. Monitor for Symptoms: If you have recently consumed any of these products and experience symptoms of an allergic reaction, seek immediate medical attention. Always have an epinephrine auto-injector (EpiPen) available if you have a known severe food allergy.
Staying vigilant about food safety alerts is the best defense against mislabeled products. Consumers should regularly check the official FDA Recalls, Market Withdrawals, & Safety Alerts page for the most current information.
