Sliced Peanuts Recalled Due to Almond Allergen Cross-Contamination

J & N Nut Products recalls sliced peanuts because FDA sampling detected almond protein in the product. The 30,000-pound recall affects California distribution.

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: 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.
