White Castle recalls frozen burgers because of undeclared allergens
A consumer complaint of an allergic reaction has led White Castle’s frozen foods division to issue a recall of 1,021 cases of its 4-count frozen retail cartons of Original Sliders due to the undeclared presence of milk and soy.
Boxes can contain Jalapeño Cheese Sliders. Jalapeño Cheese Sliders contain milk and soy, allergens not listed on the Original Slider carton label. Consumers who are allergic or sensitive to milk or soy are at risk of a serious or fatal allergic reaction if they consume the product.
The recalled product was shipped to retailers between August and October 2025. The 4-count Original Slider cartons affected by the recall were sold primarily in convenience stores in potentially all 50 states.
The 4 recalled original White Castle sliders are packaged in a blue and white cardboard box bearing UPC 0-82988-02969-3. Each 4-count carton includes individually wrapped packs of two Sliders.
The recalled lot codes are 9H203521 and 9H203522, which are printed in a light blue bar on the end panel of the carton followed by the expiration date.
Cartons of 4 Original Sliders have a frozen shelf life of 270 days with a best before date of April 18, 2026.
During the packaging process, the Jalapeño Cheese Sliders were placed in the wrong packages, and milk and soy were not listed as ingredients or allergens on the package. The issue was discovered when a customer informed White Castle that he experienced a non-life-threatening allergic reaction after consuming one of the Jalapeño Cheese Sliders that was improperly packaged in the original 4-pack Slider carton. No further reports of injury or illness have been received to date.
