There is no health alarm over Whole Foods’s pizza recall. The recall has been classified as a Class II recall, which means that health risks resulting from the labeling confusion are low. However, because of factors such as religious beliefs and possible allergic reactions to pork, some Whole Foods customers could be adversely affected if they consume the misbranded pizzas.

However, there have not been any reports about people being affected by Whole Food’s mislabeled pepperoni pizza. It is emerging that the pizza misbranding problem stemmed from Whole Foods switching suppliers. However, the mix-up was discovered during label review.
