What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (nuts), which fits the criteria for a High severity score (3) as it poses a significant risk to sensitive individuals, although no specific illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

This mislabeling poses a risk to consumers with nut allergies who may not be aware of the presence of almonds in the product. The product was distributed in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, the District of Columbia, Ohio, and Kentucky.

Consumers with nut allergies should avoid consuming the product. Those who have purchased the product should check their labels and contact Whole Foods Market for further information or a refund if necessary.
