Plain-English summary

Marathon Ventures Inc. is voluntarily recalling approximately 5,890 pounds of macadamia diced nuts packaged under seven different brands: Shurfine, Western Family, HyVee, Market Pantry, Pear's Gourmet, CWD, and Nutpro.

The affected products were distributed to consumers in California, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, Nebraska, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Wisconsin. There was no distribution to military, government, or foreign entities. Specific lot numbers and best-by dates vary by brand and are detailed in the official recall notice.

Consumers who have purchased these products should check their pantries for the specific brands, sizes, and dates listed in the recall. If they have the affected product, they should discard it or return it to the place of purchase for a refund. The FDA classifies this as a Class I recall, which is the most serious type of recall, indicating a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to the violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
