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 (undeclared peanut) on a common allergen, which fits the criteria for a High severity score (3) as no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Whole Foods Market is recalling specific lots of Southwest Stuffed Sweets because they contain undeclared peanut protein. The recall involves two product variations: Southwest Stuffed Sweets HSH CC (UPC/PLU: 28634600000) and Southwest Stuffed Sweets HSH FP (UPC/PLU: 26066400000). The affected products have a 'Best By' date of February 10, 2015.

The recall was initiated because the products contain cumin, which is associated with the presence of peanut protein that was not listed on the label. This poses a risk to consumers with peanut allergies.

The products were distributed in Connecticut, Washington, D.C., Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Virginia. Consumers who purchased these products should check their labels for the specific UPC/PLU codes and the 'Best By' date. If they have these products, they should not consume them and should contact Whole Foods Market for a refund or further instructions.
