Plain-English summary
Whole Foods Market is recalling approximately 750 decorated Easter cookies sold in bulk bins at nine locations in the Bay Area of California. The cookies, which are shaped like eggs, bunnies, and chicks, were sold on or before March 24, 2018. The recall was initiated because the signage at the self-service displays did not properly declare egg as an ingredient or allergen, despite the product containing cage-free eggs.
The affected cookies were received in 9-pound bags and sold from self-service displays. The correct ingredients include unbleached wheat flour, cane sugar, palm fruit oil, cage-free eggs, vanilla, water, cream of tartar, baking soda, corn starch, dextrose, and natural flavoring. The distribution was limited to the Bay Area, California.
Consumers who purchased these cookies should check their home for any remaining items. If the cookies are found, they should be discarded or returned to the store of purchase. Whole Foods has updated the signage at all locations to correctly declare the egg allergen.
