If you’re a frequent Whole Foods shopper than listen up because a holiday baking essential has just been recalled. Whole Foods Market is recalling…
- Organic raw hazelnuts, also known as filberts, that were sold in bulk in its stores in California, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah and Washington.
- Non-organic dry roasted hazelnuts (filberts) sold in bulk through its stores in California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington.
- Non-organic raw hazelnuts (filberts) sold in bulk through its stores in Oregon and Washington.
The above products have been recalled because they may be contaminated with salmonella, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, especially in young children, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems.
No illnesses have been reported, according to the company. If you do have any hazelnuts on hand make sure you return them. If you already baked or cooked with them toss the food. For more information, consumers can call 512-542-0656.
