What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves potential cross-contact with pistachios, a common allergen, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'Allergen mislabeling on common allergens' or high-risk products where injury has not yet been reported.
