Whole Foods Issues Cheese Recall Due to Allergen Labeling Error
By Editor • September 14, 2026 • 1 min read
Whole Foods Market has announced a recall of Cabricharme cheese after discovering a serious labeling oversight that could pose risks for individuals with egg allergies. The cheese, which was sold in 18 stores across several states, may contain an undeclared allergen that could trigger severe reactions.
Details of the Recall
The affected Cabricharme cheese, sourced from Fromagerie Coop de Mean, was sold in the Specialty Cheese department and was cut and wrapped by the pound. Labels on these products, which have best-by dates extending through October 7, 2026, did not disclose that the cheese contains egg lysozyme, an egg white protein.
Health Implications and Customer Advisory
Whole Foods issued the recall after a store team member identified the labeling problem. While no illnesses have been reported, the company is taking precautions to ensure customer safety. Shoppers who purchased the cheese are advised to dispose of it rather than return it. Those with receipts can obtain a full refund at their place of purchase.
