Whole Foods expands chocolate bar recall for possible allergens
Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture today alerted consumers that Whole Foods has expanded its recall of the 365 Organic Everyday Value™ Swiss Milk Chocolate Bars with Rice Crisps to include all varieties and all lots of chocolate bars with a Best If Used By date before 11/8/09 because they may contain undeclared milk and tree nuts.
People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to tree nuts or milk run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.
Products affected by the recall are all lots with Best If Used by date prior to 11/08/09 as follows:
365 Organic Everyday Value Swiss Milk Chocolate with Rice Crisps UPC: 9948241730
365 Organic Everyday Value Swiss Dark Chocolate with Coconut Flakes UPC: 9948241731

The product was sold at Whole Foods Market stores nationwide. 365 Organic Everyday Value™ Swiss Chocolate Bars are sold in 3 ounce sizes and are in blue and white or maroon and white wrappers with a picture of chocolate pieces and the Swiss countryside on the front. The recalled chocolate bars have a Best If Used By date prior to 11/08/09, which is found on the back of the wrapper in a white box.
Earlier this month, Whole Foods recalled the chocolate bars with a Best If Used By date prior to 11/21/07 due to undeclared tree nuts, but that product was not distributed in Georgia.
