What this means for you

Plain-English summary
NatureBox, Inc. is recalling specific lots of Sticks 'n Stones roasted nuts with sesame sticks. The recall involves 4.5 oz pouches and 5 lb. corporate bags. The product was sold via direct sales.
The recall was initiated because the supplier notified NatureBox that the oil used to roast the nuts in the trail mix had also been used to roast peanuts. This creates a possibility of peanut contamination. Peanuts are not listed in the product's allergen statement, which currently identifies wheat and tree nuts (cashews and almonds).
Consumers who have purchased the affected lots should stop consuming the product. The specific lot codes and best-by dates are listed in the product details. Individuals with a peanut allergy should be particularly cautious.
