Whole Foods Recalls Sour Cherry Crostata for Unlabeled Egg Allergen
Whole Foods Market is recalling Sour Cherry Crostata pies because egg wash is used in the product but is not listed on the ingredient list or allergen statement.
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 is classified as FDA Class I, which typically mandates a score of 4 or higher. However, the source text explicitly states no illnesses or injuries have been reported, and the hazard is a theoretical risk of allergic reaction due to mislabeling. Per the rubric, when no illnesses are reported and the hazard is theoretical, the score is capped at 3 (High), which covers allergen mislabeling on common allergens.
Plain-English summary
Whole Foods Market is voluntarily recalling Sour Cherry Crostata, 1 pie (Net. Wt. 1 lb. 6 oz / 624 g), due to a labeling error. The product contains egg wash, which is a major food allergen, but this ingredient is not listed on the ingredient list or the allergen statement on the packaging.
The recall affects approximately 2,280 individual crostatas produced over 19 weeks. These units were distributed in Northern California and one location in Nevada. Consumers should check for units with a sell-by date prior to August 14, 2013, and a pack date prior to August 10, 2013.
