Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 (undeclared peanut) on a common allergen, which corresponds to a severity score of 3 (High) per the rubric, as no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Whole Foods Market is voluntarily recalling specific Adobo Enchiladas and Dirty Rice products because they contain undeclared peanut protein. The recall involves the 48-ounce Adobo Enchiladas & Dirty Rice product and bulk Enchilada Adobo sold from food bars. The issue stems from cumin used in the products that contains peanut protein, which is not listed on the product labels.

The affected products were distributed in Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Virginia. The recall covers units with sell-by dates through February 10, 2015, and bulk products sold from food bars through February 5, 2015. The total quantity involved is 792 units and 1,870 pounds of bulk product.

Consumers with these products should stop using them and return them to the place of purchase for a refund. Individuals with a peanut allergy should avoid consuming these products. The FDA has classified this recall as Class II, indicating that there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to the violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.
