Decorated (sugared) holiday cookies sold in the shape of purple eggs, pink bunnies or yellow chicks. These cookies were sold in the self service cookie display.

Whole Foods Market recalled Decorated (sugared) holiday cookies sold in the shape of purple eggs, pink bunnies or yellow chicks. These cookies were sold in the self ser 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 Apr 15, 2017.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "undeclared egg" 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 limited; the FDA record lists "Bay area, CA only." Single-area recalls still warrant a kitchen check for anyone who shops within that footprint. The recalling firm is based in Emeryville, CA. The recall covers 9936 cookies of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported May 24, 2017), 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.
