Whole Foods Peanut Butter Cookies Recalled Due to Salmonella Risk
The Sourdough: A European Bakery Inc. is recalling Whole Foods 3 oz Peanut Butter Cookies because they were made with peanut butter recalled for salmonella.
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 mandates a minimum severity score of 4, and the presence of a high-risk pathogen (Salmonella) in a food product typically warrants the highest severity rating in the absence of specific injury data that would lower the risk profile, though Class I is the primary driver for the top tier in this context.
