Plain-English summary

Friendly Fruit Market dba Sid Wainer & Son is recalling 562 clamshells of Jansal Valley brand Energize Snack Mix, NET WT 5 OZ (142 G). The recall involves specific lots with best-by dates ranging from July 11, 2019, to February 26, 2020. The product was distributed in Massachusetts, Maine, Connecticut, New York, Vermont, Virginia, Rhode Island, the District of Columbia, and Florida.

The recall was initiated because the products were labeled with an incorrect ingredient listing. The label lists multiple allergens, including pecans, that are not actually present in the product. The allergens actually present in the product are peanuts, almonds, cashews, coconut, hazelnuts, and walnuts. This discrepancy creates a risk for consumers with allergies to the ingredients listed on the label but not in the product.

Consumers who purchased this product should check their pantry for the specific lot numbers and best-by dates listed in the recall notice. If they have the affected product, they should stop using it and contact the recalling firm for further instructions.
