Raw SeaFoods, Inc., based in Fall River, MA, has issued an allergy alert and initiated a voluntary recall of its Farm Raised Lightly Seasoned Atlantic Salmon Burgers. The recall is due to the undeclared presence of sesame and milk allergens, posing a potential risk for individuals with allergies or sensitivities to these ingredients.
The impacted product, sold exclusively in the seafood department of Whole Foods Market stores nationwide, was available from August 25, 2023, through November 15, 2023.

Consumers with sesame or milk allergies are urged not to consume the recalled product.
