FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- AUSTIN, TX. (January 23, 2009) – Whole Foods

Market today announced a recall of its Whole Foods Carob Energee

Nuggets in four states because they have the potential to be

contaminated with Salmonella. Salmonella is an organism which can

cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail

or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy

persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea

(which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare

circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism

getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such

as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and

arthritis.

The recalled products were distributed to Whole Foods Market stores

in California, Oregon, Washington, and Nevada. The product comes in a

nine-ounce, clear plastic package with a label reading " Whole Foods

Carob Energee Nuggets " and bears a UPC of 999482-000274. All lot

codes are being recalled.

No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this

problem.

Whole Foods Market's product supplier notified the Company of the

potential for contamination of Salmonella. The action was taken after

the Peanut Corporation of America, a company that supplies bulk

peanut butter, issued a recall of the peanut butter used to make

these Whole Foods Market bakery products.

Consumers who have purchased Whole Foods Carob Energee Nuggets are

urged to return them to the store for a full refund. Consumers with

questions may contact the company at 1-.
