Three varieties of organic broth sold nationwide at Whole Foods Market are being voluntarily recalled due to concerns over microbial contamination.
According to a news release from Whole Foods, TreeHouse Foods, Inc., of Oak Brook, Illinois, issued the voluntary recall. The company said that two brands of 365 By Whole Foods chicken broth and one brand of 365 By Whole Foods beef broth were recalled “due to lack of sterility assurance.”
TreeHouse Foods said the recall was not a health or safety concern, but added that the products had the potential to spoil prematurely.
The products subject to recall were sold in boxed containers on Whole Foods shelves from July 24, 2022 until Sept. 21, 2023, the news release stated.
