Whole Foods Recalls Holiday Desserts

AUSTIN, Texas — Whole Foods Market is recalling dozens of private-label desserts and other prepared-food and bakery products sourced from Rolf’s Pattisserie of Lincolnwood, Ill., due to risk of food poisoning.

To date no illnesses have been reported from consumers eating products sold by Whole Foods, but several outbreaks of Staphylococcus aureus food poisoning, causing nausea, stomach cramps and diarrhea, have been linked to products produced by Rolf’s.

Affected items including assembled gingerbread houses, pumpkin pie and yule log desserts were sold in Whole Foods stores in 22 states.
