At 16 Whole Foods Markets in the Northeast, including Darien’s, a frittata product was mislabeled “Asparagus, Pea and Ricotta salad” and therefore didn’t note that there’s egg in it — which could be harmful to someone allergic to eggs.
This image of the product was posted on the Food & Drug Administration website.
So the product has been recalled, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which also said:
“People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to eggs run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product. No illnesses or reactions have been reported.”
Here’s the announcement:
Whole Foods Market is recalling ten ounce packages of Asparagus, Pea and Ricotta salad because it was mislabeled and actually contained miniature Asparagus, Sun Dried Tomato and Swiss Frittatas.
Due to the labeling error, an egg allergen was undeclared. The product was produced at the Whole Foods Market North Atlantic Kitchen in Everett, Massachusetts.
People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to eggs run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product. No illnesses or reactions have been reported.
