Whole Foods Market is recalling one lot code of Whole Foods Raspberry Cheesecake Gelato because it contains egg, one of the major food allergens, that is not listed on the product label. Anyone who is allergic to or who has a severe sensitivity to egg could have a serious allergic reaction if they eat this product. No adverse reactions have been reported to date in connection with this issue.

The UPC number is 9948248024 and the best by date on the package is 6/11/2021.
