A potentially ‘serious’ problem with a Whole Foods protein powder got it recalled
One lot of Whole Foods Market’s 365 Everyday Value Whey Protein Powder Natural Vanilla Flavor has been recalled after a mistake that can create a “serious or life-threatening” situation.
It’s the kind of packaging mistake that got Whole Foods publicly upbraided by the FDA in December, but this malfunction came from powder manufacturer Arizona Nutritional Supplements. Some containers of the Whey Protein Powder Natural Vanilla Flavor, which doesn’t have soy, have Soy Protein Powder.
That means soy isn’t listed among the ingredients. As the FDA-posted recall notice states, “Individuals with an allergy or sensitivity to soy may risk a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.”
A Whole Foods problem is ‘a pattern,’ the FDA says in an unprecedented warning letter
This is lot No. 0073984 with a best by date of 03/04/2023 and was sold at Whole Foods stores nationwide from March 24 through Thursday. Those who want to return the protein powder can do so at the Whole Foods of purchase for a full refund.
Those with questions can call 844-936-8255, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 11 p.m., Eastern time or weekends, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
