FDA Upgrades Whole Foods Dip Recall to Class I Amid Multistate Salmonella Crisis
The FDA has upgraded the recall of Whole Foods dips and salsas to Class I, its highest risk level, due to potential Salmonella contamination. The move follows a multistate outbreak linked to jalapeños supplied by Coast Citrus Distributors, which has sickened hundreds across the U.S. While no illnesses have been directly attributed to the Whole Foods products, the agency warns that consumption could cause serious health consequences or death.
