Five separate recalls have been issued involving Whole Foods Market products so far in 2025, with issues ranging from undeclared allergens to potential E. coli contamination.
The affected items were distributed across the U.S. and several Canadian provinces, prompting regulatory alerts and public warnings in both countries. Below is a detailed breakdown of each recall, including impacted regions and consumer guidance.
Why It Matters
Food recalls related to undeclared allergens and contamination pose serious health risks to consumers.
In 2025, Whole Foods-related recalls have involved eggs, peanuts, milk, sulfites, and potential E. coli contamination—each capable of causing severe or life-threatening reactions. Several of the affected items were distributed nationally, underlining the scope of the recalls.
