What Products Are Affected
Fromagerie Coop de Mean Cabricharme and Belgium Cabricharme cheese products sold at Whole Foods Market are subject to an FDA Class I recall due to an undeclared allergen. The affected products are plastic-wrapped cheese slices that have been cut from whole wheels and priced by weight at the point of sale. Consumers can identify the recalled cheese by checking for Whole Foods Market scale label product look-up codes (PLUs) 54670 and 57953. The recall applies to products with the stated 30-day shelf life through and including October 7, 2026. A total of 21 wheels of cheese were involved in this recall. These products were distributed across seven states: California, Arizona, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New York.
Why Was This Recalled
WFM Purchasing LP initiated this recall because the cheese products contain egg, an allergen that was not properly declared on the packaging or product labels. Undeclared allergens present a serious public health concern, particularly for individuals with egg allergies or egg sensitivities. Readers following other food-recall notices may recognize why the product identifiers matter. Exposure to undeclared allergens can trigger allergic reactions ranging from mild symptoms to severe, life-threatening anaphylaxis. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has classified this as a Class I recall, which represents the most serious classification level. A Class I designation indicates that exposure to the recalled products may cause serious adverse health consequences or potentially death. The recall was voluntarily initiated by the firm on September 8, 2026, with the FDA officially classifying it on September 22, 2026.
What You Should Do
Consumers who purchased Fromagerie Coop de Mean Cabricharme or Belgium Cabricharme cheese slices from Whole Foods Market should check the stated 30-day shelf life through October 7, 2026. Look for packages bearing Whole Foods Market scale label PLU numbers 54670 or 57953. If you have an egg allergy or sensitivity, do not consume any cheese matching this description. The official FDA record does not specify what consumer contact procedures Whole Foods Market has established or describe any refund or replacement process. Consumers should contact Whole Foods Market directly with questions about the recall or product return options. Anyone with an egg allergy who consumed the recalled cheese and experienced allergic symptoms should seek immediate medical attention.
