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.
