Estimated reading time: seven (7) minutes

US/Silver Spring: Heinen’s, a Warrensville Heights, Ohio establishment, recalls certain batch/lots of Heinen’s Fresh Ground Cashew Nut Butter from the American marketplace due to suspected mislabeling and consequential undeclared Almond Nuts and Peanuts, both known allergens, sources of dietary intolerance and possible triggers of Anaphylaxis, a serious and potential fatal situation, requiring immediate medical intervention to minimize pain and suffering as well as prevent life-altering injury or death.

Additional information:
The US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) reports the following Nut Butter products are subject to this recall:

• Heinen’s Fresh Ground Cashew Nut Butter, sold in variable weight plastic tubs with a sell-by Date of 08-27-23 (i.e. August 27, 2023) and a UPC of 2-0953040773-4

Please consult the photograph above for details of the food’s packaging, design and retail presentation. One (1) additional image of the recalled Nut Butter products can be found on the Web site above.

==> No item numbers, best-before date codes, manufacturing date codes, production dates, regulatory approval designations, registration numbers, agency approval designations or other identification numbers were listed with this recall notification.

These Heinen’s Fresh Ground Cashew Nut Butter products were known to be marketed, distributed and sold from Heinen’s retail locations in the US states of Illinois and Ohio, although it is always possible these food products had wider distribution within the country. When in doubt, please contact the manufacturer for specific product information.

According to the FDA, Heinen’s has recalled certain batch/lots of Heinen’s Fresh Ground Cashew Nut Butter from the American marketplace due to suspected mislabeling and consequential undeclared Almond Nuts and Peanuts. As a result of this reported defect, you should neither serve nor consume the recalled Nut Butter products identified above.

In this case, this recall was initiated after it was discovered that Nut Butter containing Peanuts or Almonds was distributed in Fresh Ground Cashew Butter containers that did not reveal the presence of additional Almond Nuts and Peanuts allergens. Subsequent investigation indicates that this was isolated to a single distributed sell-by date of 8/27/23 (i.e. August 27, 2023).

==> For information about Nut Allergy (including Peanuts and Tree Nuts such as Almond Nuts), please consult the “Allergens & Intolerances” tab at the top of this page.

==> Never depend on your senses of sight, smell, taste or touch to confirm food poisoning, adulteration or contamination. If in doubt about the safety of any food, return it to your retailer for refund or toss it out in your household garbage, making sure neither small children nor household pets can access the suspect food.

Proposed Remedy:
If you believe you have purchased or have in your possession any of these recalled Heinen’s Fresh Ground Cashew Nut Butter and could be allergic to their Almond Nut and/or Peanut ingredients, have a close family member who is allergic or has previously experienced Anaphylaxis or are unsure of your allergy status, please do not consume them directly nor use them as an ingredient in another dish or preparation. Instead, return the product to the store where you purchased it for a full refund.

==> If you have a medical emergency, please contact 9-1-1, your closest hospital or emergency center equipped to properly treat Anaphylaxis.
