50-state recall of White Castle burgers that contain some things they shouldn’t
An allergic reaction that didn’t kill a consumer alerted White Castle to a problem that could kill a consumer, prompting a 50-state burger recall.
White Castle’s Frozen Food Division yanked two lots of four-count White Castle Original Sliders after finding out they might have Jalapeño Cheese Sliders.
Other than unexpectedly raising the temperature in your mouth, the Jalapeño Cheese Sliders have milk and soy. The original variety don’t, so, the box doesn’t list those ingredients among allergens.
“Consumers with an allergy or sensitivity to milk or soy run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the product,” the White Castle-written, FDA-posted recall notice said.
The recall notice explains: “The issue was discovered when a customer notified White Castle that he suffered a non-life-threatening allergic reaction after consuming one of the Jalapeño Cheese Sliders that was incorrectly packaged in the 4-count Original Sliders carton.”
Lot Nos. 9H203521 or 9H203522 will be found on an end panel of the recalled boxes, next to the best by date of April 18, 2026.
If there’s no chance the little square burgers will be eaten by anyone with a milk or soy allergy, and you don’t mind the jalapeño or cheese, carry on as usual. Otherwise, return the box to the store where you bought it for a refund or toss it in the garbage.
