The ingredients are probably fine, but I would worry about cross-contamination from being in the deli case.

I asked Whole Foods about their prepared items because I love stopping there to get a quick lunch. They told me that if there are any allergens in their food, it will be listed. Even the salad bars have prepared salads and the ingredients list is right in front of you.

If it was pre-packaged, I would not worry about cc. If the deli person had to scoop it, I would be concerned.

Whole Foods is pretty good about cross-contamination issues. I would feel as comfortable getting the Tuna Salad there (as long as it has its own labels) as I would eating out a restaurant (ok).

On a side note, I do get chicken salad from my Von's deli here in Las Vegas, but I get it early in the morning (8:30 a.m.) right after they make it (and before the deli has any customers -- that way I am first and the most safe)

I ate the most wonderful chicken salad from Whole Foods deli. I had no adverse reactions to it. I feel just as comfortable there as I would at a restaurant. Actually I feel a bit safer there, they at least know all about cross contamination.
