The FDA elevated a recall of Whole Foods' mild guacamole to Class 1, the agency's highest warning, after linking jalapeños in the product to a multistate salmonella outbreak. The recall covers 12,995 units with best-by dates from Aug. 7 to Aug. 12, 2026, distributed across a dozen states. Officials trace the contaminated peppers to Coast Citrus Distributors, which has recalled jalapeños grown in Sinaloa, Mexico. » Plus sur yahoo.com

Whole Foods recalled salsas, guacamole, pico de gallo and prepared foods containing jalapeños with best-before dates in early August after a Mexican pepper supplier was linked to a multistate salmonella outbreak. Affected items, sourced from Coast Citrus Distributors and sold in multiple Midwestern and Southern states, were pulled from Produce and Prepared Foods departments; no illnesses have been reported tied to Whole Foods products. The retailer advises customers to discard affected items and seek refunds while the FDA and suppliers continue the investigation. » Plus sur cbsnews.com

Whole Foods Market partnered with the National Young Farmers Coalition to create the Next Generation Farmer Fund, aiming to raise at least $1 million and award grants of $10,000–$50,000 to beginning farmers and those under 40 practicing organic and regenerative methods. Whole Foods will match up to $500,000 and several food brands have pledged contributions, while 1% of August sales from the Berry Chantilly cake will support the fund. The initiative targets barriers facing new farmers—land access, capital and rising costs—and complements Whole Foods’ broader sustainability and food-system commitments. » Plus sur forbes.com
