The Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning to Whole Foods Market over issues regarding misbranded food products.
The agency said over the past year, the grocery retailer has recalled more than 30 products after failures to list the presence of major food allergens on product labels. Those major food allergens include ingredients such as milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat and soybeans. The issue isn t limited to this year, as the FDA says it has noticed similar problems with labeling from previous years as well.
