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 allergen mislabeling/cross-contact with pistachios (a common allergen) without reported illnesses, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria for allergen mislabeling on common allergens.
