Whole Foods Markets Recalls a Slew of Products that May Have Traces of Peanuts

A very long list of products sold at Whole Foods Market have been recalled, including the store at 150 Ledge Rd. in Darien and including some food sold at the supermarket’s food bars up to Feb. 5.

Each of the products was prepared with ground cumin spice that may have been contaminated with undeclared peanuts by a supplier to Whole Foods.

With so many items recalled, we’ve published only the name of the product below, leaving out the particular “sell by” dates or other identifying information that specify which particular lots of that product have been recalled, so if you bought that product, go to the original news release to find out if the item you bought was part of the recall.

Here’s the news release published on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration website on Feb. 9 (with specifics on each product removed; Whole Foods also published a news release here, with a list of recalled products):

Whole Foods Market has recalled items prepared with a supplier’s ground cumin spice ingredient that may have contained undeclared peanut. People with an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

No allergic reactions have been reported to-date, and recalled items have been pulled from store shelves. Whole Foods Market was notified by its supplier that undeclared peanut protein was found in cumin supplied to some of its facilities.

Items that contained ground cumin spice subject to the recall were sold from January 14, 2015 through February 6, 2015. Not all items or all products were sold in all store locations. Affected items such as prepared salads, seasoned meat items, tacos, and other seasoned items were sold in Whole Foods Market stores in CT, KY, MA, MD, ME, NH, NJ, NY, OH, PA, RI, VA, and Washington, D.C. Additionally, Whole Foods Market pulled and destroyed the recalled ground cumin spice and all items containing this recalled ingredient in all regions where it was available.
