Whole Foods Market Panettone Chocolate recall

Recalled by Whole Foods Market · Austin, TX, United States

Class III — Low risk. Unlikely to cause harm, but violates FDA regulations.

Why it was recalled

The reason for the recall was that a small portion of the Whole Foods Market Cranberry Panettone was mispackaged in Whole Foods Market Panettone Chocolate boxes. Allergens are declared on both labels, but the only difference is that soy is in the 'may contains' statement on Whole Foods Market Cranberry Panettone box and on the Whole Foods Market Chocolate Panettone box, soy is declared in the 'con

Undeclared allergen: Soy

For someone with a food allergy the label is the only protection. An undeclared allergen can trigger a severe reaction even in a trace amount, which is why most of these recalls are Class I. All undeclared allergens recalls.

What was recalled

Whole Foods Market Panettone Chocolate - 26.4 oz, 12 per case.

Quantity: 1,035 cases (12,420 retail units)

Food: Chocolate & candy

Low risk, but check. Class III means the product is unlikely to make anyone ill but breaks an FDA rule, often a labeling one. If your package matches, the store will normally refund it. The risk from an undeclared allergen is to people allergic to soy; for anyone else the product is generally not a safety concern. FDA lists this recall as terminated: the company has finished removing the product, so it should no longer be on shelves - but it can still be in a freezer or pantry.
