Plain-English summary

Zingerman's Ca$hew Cow Candy Bar, net weight 2 oz, UPC 844397000157, is being recalled over undeclared peanut.

The recall covers 78 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. Peanut is a major allergen and can cause severe reactions in sensitive people, and a bar named for cashews would not signal peanut to a buyer checking for it.

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