Whole Foods Market Panettone Chocolate Recalled for Mispackaging
Whole Foods Market is recalling Panettone Chocolate because some units were mispackaged with Cranberry Panettone, creating a potential soy allergen discrepancy.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which indicates the product is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The hazard is a labeling discrepancy regarding soy allergens, which fits the criteria for moderate severity involving minor labeling errors or low-risk contamination.
Plain-English summary
Whole Foods Market is recalling 1,035 cases (12,420 retail units) of Whole Foods Market Panettone Chocolate, 26.4 oz, 12 per case. The recall was initiated because a small portion of Whole Foods Market Cranberry Panettone was mispackaged in Whole Foods Market Panettone Chocolate boxes.
The hazard involves a discrepancy in allergen labeling. While allergens are declared on both labels, the specific handling of soy differs: soy is listed in the 'may contain' statement on the Cranberry Panettone box, whereas it is declared in the 'contains' statement on the Chocolate Panettone box. This mispackaging could lead to consumers receiving a product with different allergen declarations than expected.
The affected products were distributed nationwide domestically and to Canada. Consumers should check their pantries for Whole Foods Market Panettone Chocolate with lot codes O 262, O 263, or O 264. If found, consumers should stop using the product and contact Whole Foods Market for a refund or replacement.
