The warning letter, addressed to all co-founder foods and CEO John Mackey, indicates that the company has issued more than two dozen reminders due to undeclared food allergens over the past year.

The FDA draws entire foods responsible for the investigation and the determination of the causes of each violation, as well as to ensure that similar violations are prevented in the future. The grocer has 15 working days to answer the agency.
