Why was Individual Unit Label (both lid and front of cup): Whole Foods Mark… recalled?
According to the FDA, the stated reason for the recall is: “Contains undeclared allergen (shrimp).” In plain terms, this recall relates to an undeclared ingredient or allergen.
An undeclared ingredient means a food contains something — often a major allergen such as milk, eggs, soy, wheat, peanuts, or tree nuts — that is not listed on the label. For most people this is not dangerous, but for someone with a food allergy or sensitivity it can trigger a serious reaction. Accurate labeling is required so that people can avoid ingredients they need to stay away from.

If you think you may have bought Individual Unit Label (both lid and front of cup): Whole Foods Mark…, compare it against the product description and identifying codes (Use by: 05/27/26 Lot/Unit Numbers: 1762181 UPC Codes: 099482502065) before using it. This recall is currently listed as ongoing.
