Whole Foods Market is voluntarily recalling select whole and sliced Apple and Cherry Pies from five stores in the Mid-Atlantic Region because they contain undeclared milk and egg.

  • 2101 Pennsylvania Ave., Philadelphia, PA

  • 1700 Duke St., Alexandria, VA

The products were located in the bakery department and were packaged whole and by the slice with Whole Foods Market scale labels. The affected products can be identified by the following information:
