Bridgford Foods Corporation

Item 4.01. - Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant. (a) Previous independent registered public accounting firm. On April 13, 2026, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Bridgford Foods Corporation (the “Company”) dismissed Baker Tilly US, LLP (“Baker Tilly”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to change principal accountants was approved by the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company. The reports of Baker Tilly on the consolidated financial statements of Bridgford Foods Corporation for the years ended October 31, 2025 and November 1, 2024, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle. During the years ended October 31, 2025 and November 1, 2024, and through the subsequent interim period ended April 13, 2026, there were no disagreements with Baker Tilly on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Baker Tilly, would have caused it to make reference thereto in its reports on the financial statements for such years. During the years ended October 31, 2025 and November 1, 2024, and through the subsequent interim period ended April 13, 2026, there have been no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K). A letter from Baker Tilly addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made herein is attached as Exhibit 16.1 hereto. (b) New independent registered public accounting firm. On April 13, 2026, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Withum Smith+Brown, PC as its new independent registered public accounting firm as of April 13, 2026 for the fiscal year beginning November 1, 2025 and ending October 30, 2026. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended October 31, 2025 and November 1, 2024, and through the subsequent interim period ended April 13, 2026, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted Withum Smith+Brown, PC regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
