Whole Foods Market Korean BBQ Sauce NET WT 12 OZ (340g) packaged in a glass bottle

Whole Foods Market recalled Whole Foods Market Korean BBQ Sauce NET WT 12 OZ (340g) packaged in a glass bottle in a Class I action — the FDA's most serious tier, reserved for products with a reasonable probability of causing serious health consequences or death on May 11, 2016.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Undeclared peanut and coconut." Allergen mislabeling is the leading cause of U.S. food recalls, because a missing declaration can trigger a reaction in someone who reads the label and believes the product is safe.

Distribution was broad: the FDA record describes it as "Nationwide throughout the US," which places this among the wider-reach recalls on the site. Consumers across the affected area should check product on hand. The recalling firm is based in Austin, TX. The recall covers 8604 units of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Jul 27, 2016), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved. The historical record remains useful for tracking a brand's recall pattern over time.
