Dayton Nut Specialties Recalls Creation Special Snack Mix for Allergen Mislabeling

Dayton Nut Specialties Inc is recalling Creation Special Snack Mix because the packaging failed to declare peanuts, tree nuts, soy, wheat, and Yellow #5.

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 allergen mislabeling on common allergens (peanuts, tree nuts, soy, wheat), which meets the criteria for a High severity score (3) under the rubric, as no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Dayton Nut Specialties Inc is voluntarily recalling 42 cases of Creation Special Snack Mix, packaged in 25 lb. cardboard cartons. The recall is due to the absence of an ingredient statement on the packaging, which failed to declare the presence of direct allergens: peanuts, tree nuts, soy, and wheat. The packaging also failed to declare the presence of Yellow #5 and that the product is packaged in a facility that handles milk and eggs.

The affected product is identified by Lot #s 13037, 13114, 13309, and 13333. The product was distributed in Kentucky. The FDA has classified this recall as Class II, meaning there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, the violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.

Consumers who have purchased this product should check their pantry for the specific lot numbers listed above. If found, consumers should stop using the product and contact the recalling firm for further instructions or a refund. Individuals with allergies to peanuts, tree nuts, soy, wheat, milk, or eggs should be particularly cautious and avoid consuming the product if they cannot verify the lot number.
