FDA flags Whole Foods guacamole recall as highest risk amid salmonella fears

The FDA has classified a recall of Whole Foods Mild Guacamole Dip as Class I, its highest risk, due to possible salmonella contamination from jalapeños. About 12,995 units sold in 12 states (dates Aug. 7–12) were produced in Akron, Ohio, and Austin, Texas. Consumers should discard the product and seek refunds. The recall is tied to a broader multistate jalapeño outbreak; hundreds have been sickened nationwide, though no illnesses from these recalled guacamole products have been reported.
