Whole Foods Tarts Allergy Recall 2017: Full List Of Products Affected, How To Get A Refund
Whole Foods Market has voluntarily recalled a number of certain pastries it sells at select locations over fears the confections could trigger allergic reactions from unwitting consumers.
The tarts being sold in a variety of fruit flavors may have been made with tree nut, or almond flour. Customers were not made aware of the ingredient because the pastries' containers did not disclose that information. At worst could result in death if eaten by those allergic to tree nuts.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the recall on Thursday. No adverse reactions had been reported as of the time the announcement was posted to the FDA's website.
The tarts being recalled were sold in Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington, D.C. They all had "best by" dates of Saturday, or Jan. 7.
A full list of the tarts involved in the recall can be found below:

While this was the first recall for the supermarket giant, it was the latest in a string of recalls in recent months. Chocolate croissants were recalled from 51 Whole Foods stores in November because the products' labeling did not indicate they were made with egg.
One month earlier batches of organic micro greens were recalled from all Whole Foods stores over the fear they may have been contaminated with Salmonella.
As of Thursday afternoon, the Whole Foods website had not announced the recall.
