They were distributed to locations in Maine, Oregon, and Washington for retail and foodservice distribution.

The recall was initiated after a retail consumer complaint notified FSIS that the product contained pistachios.

Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
