Plain-English summary

Whole Foods Market is voluntarily recalling specific Pico De Gallo Salsa products because they contain undeclared peanut protein. The recall involves Pico De Gallo Salsa (Net Wt. 8 oz.), WFM Dip Salsa Pico De Gallo PPK, and Salsa Pico de Gallo Bulk. The issue stems from the use of cumin in the products, which may have been contaminated with peanut protein.

The affected products were distributed in Connecticut, Washington D.C., Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Virginia. The recall covers 1,296 units of packaged salsa and 1,931 pounds of bulk salsa. Packaged products have sell-by dates through February 10, 2015, while bulk products were sold from food bars through February 5, 2015.
