> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Austin, TX -- July 31, 2007 – Whole Foods
> Market® is recalling 365 Organic Everyday Value™ Swiss Dark
> Chocolate Bars because they may contain undeclared almonds. People
> who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to nuts run the risk of
> serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these
> products.

> stores in the following states: Alabama, Colorado, Connecticut,
> Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana,
> Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska,
> New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio,

> 365 Organic Everyday Value Swiss Dark Chocolate Bars are sold in
> red and white wrappers with a picture of chocolate pieces and the
> Swiss countryside on the front. The recalled chocolate bars have a
> lot code that begins with the characters L71423 followed by a four
