The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the recall of a biscuit mix packed exclusively for Chick-Fil-A.

Concerns about the potential presence of undeclared egg led Griffith Foods of Alsip, Illinois, to voluntarily recall the food product that was shipped to two distribution centers, according to an FDA advisory.

The FDA said that people who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to egg run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

Company leaders from Griffith Foods and Chick-Fil-A did not respond to requests for comment by press time.

"Chick Fil A's representations to their end customers should not be impacted by this particular food product recall, and Chick Fil A food items should not need to be recalled because the contamination involved is not the presence of an allergen that was not normally in the food product, but just an improper labeling between the distributor and the restaurant," food industry expert and Fruit Slabs CEO Brandon Dorsky told NTD.

There are nine major food allergens that the FDA requires all companies to identify in their products. They include milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, and sesame.

The FDA further stated that the two distribution centers are located in Louisiana and North Carolina.

The FDA designated the biscuit mix recall a Class 2 event, which is the federal government’s second-highest risk alert and is described on the FDA website as exposure to a product that may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.

A Class II recall is described on the FDA website as a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.

"This matter was likely assigned a Class 2 recall because the end customer, Chick Fil A, already likely has internal procedures and protocols that assume the product contained the declared allergen since the undeclared allergen was not an adulteration of product and was just an error in labeling," Dorsky added.

Last week, various flavors of fruit bread and fritters were also recalled due to an undeclared egg allergen and were assigned the FDA's highest risk alert.

Hillside Orchard Farms in Georgia voluntarily withdrew nine 23 ounce bread flavors and seven 7.5 ounce fritter flavors that were sold in five states.

The flavors include apple, peach, strawberry, cinnamon pecan, blueberry, blackberry, banana nut, cheese, and jalapeno cheese.

“On July 17, 2025, during an investigation by the FDA, the firm was made aware that the label failed to include the allergen egg had been left of the label during a reprint of the labels,” the FDA said.

The recalled bread products were sold in farm markets and roadside stands located in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina.
