The recall covers 156 units from lot 174250. The product was distributed to retailers in Michigan and New York and reached consumers through retail stores.

The FDA has classified this as a Class I recall, its most serious category, used where there is a reasonable probability of serious health consequences or death. Cashew is a tree nut and a major allergen, and a bar named for peanut butter would not signal cashew to a buyer checking for tree nuts.

Anyone with a tree nut allergy holding a bar from lot 174250 should not eat it and should follow the retailer's instructions.
