Whole Foods said the issue was discovered when the company was notified about a positive test result for Listeria monocytogenes.
Whole Foods said the products were distributed in 22 states.
"The affected products were packaged in clear wrapping and sold in the specialty department with a Whole Foods Market scale label with 'packed on' dates from May 17 – July 26, 2021," the company added.
