Whole Foods Market is recalling Whole Foods Kouign amann pastries because they contain egg, one of the major food allergens, that is not declared on the label. Anyone who is allergic to or sensitive to egg could have a serious reaction if they eat this product. No illnesses or allergic reactions have been reported to the company to date in connection with this recall.
The Kouign amann pastries were sold in the bakery department of select Whole Foods Market stores in Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Texas and Utah. The pastries were packaged in plastic clamshell 4-packs with Whole Foods Market scale labels, a PLU number of 267394, and the sell through date of July 27, 2020. All of these recalled pastries have been removed from store shelves.
The recall was started when a store team member noted the discrepancy of the missing ingredient on the label. If you purchased this product and are allergic to egg, don’t eat it. Throw it away or take the product back to the store where you purchased it for a full refund. You can also bring a valid receipt into the store for a refund.
Allergies to eggs and other ingredients can appear without warning at any time in life. Symptoms can include skin inflammation of hives, which is the most common reaction, along with nasal congestion, running nose, sneezing, cramps, nausea, and vomiting, or asthma signs and symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. Anyone who is experiencing these symptoms should contact a doctor.
