The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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: FDA Class II recall for allergen cross-contamination involving major allergens (almonds and peanuts). Although no illnesses are reported in the source, allergen mislabeling on common allergens qualifies as High severity per rubric criteria.

Plain-English summary

J & N Nut Products Inc. is recalling sliced peanuts for allergen cross-contamination. FDA sampling detected almond protein in the sliced peanuts and peanut protein in sliced almonds produced by the company.

The recalled products include sliced peanuts sold in 25-pound bags, totaling 30,000 pounds. Distribution was limited to California. The bulk cases do not include lot code information, so all sliced peanuts from this production run may be affected.

The contamination poses a serious health risk to consumers with peanut or almond allergies, who could experience allergic reactions if the mislabeled products are consumed.
