Whole Food Market Thai Shrimp Salad Serving Size 8 oz. Distributed by Whole Foods Market Englewood Cliffs NJ 07632 UPC 8-2510-00081

Whole Foods Market Northeast Regional Office recalled Whole Food Market Thai Shrimp Salad Serving Size 8 oz. in a Class II action, the FDA tier for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects on Aug 3, 2016.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Whole Food Market Spicy Harissa Salmon Salad sold in the NE region was mislabeled as Thai Shrimp Salad. This resulted in undeclared salmon (Fish) and Pistachio (treenut)." 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 "NE region." Single-area recalls still warrant a kitchen check for anyone who shops within that footprint. The recalling firm is based in Englewood Cliffs, NJ. The recall covers 88 units of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Sep 21, 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.
