Whole Foods Thai Shrimp Salad Recalled for Incorrect Back Label

Cafe Spice GCT is recalling Whole Foods Market Thai Shrimp Salad because the back label displays information for a different product.

The agency’s classification

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the specific hazard is a minor labeling error (incorrect product information on the back label) with no reported illnesses or injuries, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.
