Whole Foods Recalls Fried Chicken Meals for Potential Undeclared Egg
Whole Foods Market is recalling Fried Chicken Meals with Mac & Cheese in five states and D.C. due to a potential undeclared egg allergen.
What this means for you
Highest-severity recall. Risk of serious injury or death is documented or strongly suspected. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class I, which per the rubric mandates a score of at least 4, and the hazard involves undeclared allergens which are typically high-risk; however, the rubric states 'If the agency's own classification is FDA Class I... never go below 4'. Wait, looking at the rubric: Score 5 is 'FDA Class I'. Score 4 is 'FDA Class II...'. Therefore, FDA Class I maps to Score 5 (Critical) or potentially 4 if interpreted loosely, but the rubric explicitly lists 'FDA Class I' under Score 5. Let me re-read carefully. Score 5: 'FDA Class I...'. Score 4: 'FDA Class II...'. So FDA Class I is Score 5.
