Whole Foods desserts voluntarily recalled in multiple states over undeclared allergens
All affected products have been removed from store shelves
Whole Foods Market is voluntarily recalling two of its desserts after discovering that the labels failed to list common allergens.
The company's Chantilly Key Lime Tartlets were pulled from stores in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island after a routine internal audit revealed that almond flour was missing from the product label, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
Additionally, the company's Kouign-amann pastries were removed from 35 stores around the country after a store member noticed the label failed to list eggs as an ingredient.
The Kouign-amann pastries were distributed to select Whole Foods Market stores in Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Texas and Utah, according to a separate FDA notice.
People who have a food allergy or severe sensitivity either almonds or eggs "run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction," the agency said.
