Boise-area food supplier recalls sandwiches from local stores. Did you buy one?
A Caldwell food supplier has recalled nearly 4,000 sandwiches, saying they might contain undeclared sesame.
Capitol Distributing, a business controlled by Southwest Idaho’s Jackson family, best known for its Jacksons Food Stores convenience-store chain, announced the recall of 3,934 turkey and cheese, egg salad and chicken salad sandwiches in a news release published Thursday by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
They were sold under the Jacksons and CK brand names. Many were sold at Jacksons stores.
“People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to sesame run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product,” Capitol Distributing said.
The sandwiches’ sesame was not declared on the product label. Potential cross contact occurred when chicken salad on a croissant and egg salad sandwiches were prepared on the same surface as the turkey sandwiches, the company said.
“A new bread source for sandwiches included sesame, and the allergen was incorrectly left off of updated sandwich labels,” the company said. “The labels have been updated, and any future possibility of cross contact has been eliminated.”

Customers could have bought the sandwiches as early as Feb. 8. The company said the sandwiches are:
