Whole Foods Markets Withdraw Products Over Undeclared Allergen

US based Whole Foods Markets has issued a recall of around 33,191 pounds of ready-to-eat products as they are misbranded and may contain peanut, an undeclared allergen.

The recalled products were produced on dates from January 14 through February 5, 2015. These products bear the establishment number "20234" and "18768" and have the sell by date printed on the product label.

The items were delivered to retail stores in Connecticut, Kentucky, Ohio, Maryland, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, and the District of Columbia.

The problem was identified when Whole Foods manufacturing plant was informed by its spice supplier that cumin used in the chili may have been contaminated with peanut allergens.

No reports of adverse reactions have been confirmed so far.
