Holmquist Ranch Flavored Hazelnuts Recalled for Undeclared Hazelnut Allergen

Holmquist Hazelnut Orchards is recalling Ranch Flavored Hazelnuts in 4 oz, 6 oz, and 1 lb sizes due to an undeclared hazelnut allergen in the product's 'Contains' statement.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which indicates a remote probability of adverse health consequences. The hazard is an allergen mislabeling (undeclared hazelnut), which fits the criteria for a moderate severity score as it is a labeling error without reported illnesses.
