Whole Foods recalls popcorn chicken over undeclared shellfish

Whole Foods has issued a voluntary recall for packaged popcorn chicken with sweet chili sauce that was sold in stores across Northern California and Nevada. The company said a labeling error may have resulted in undeclared shellfish, specifically shrimp, being in the product, which could cause a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction to consumers.

The products were sold at 25 stores in Northern California and one location in Reno, Nevada. The product is sold in a plastic container in the prepared foods department and is labeled “Popcorn Chicken Shaker with Sweet Chili.” It is marked with sell-by dates through Nov. 27, 2020, and can be identified by the PLU number 81789 on the scale label.
