Meijer is recalling specific packages of Frederik’s Dark Chocolate Almonds due to potential contamination with dark chocolate-covered cashews, which are not listed on the label. This poses a risk of serious allergic reactions in individuals with a cashew allergy or severe sensitivity.

Reason for Recall

The recall was issued because the products may contain dark chocolate-covered cashews that are not declared on the label. People with an allergy or severe sensitivity to cashews may experience life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume these products.

Where Are Frederik’s Dark Chocolate Almonds Sold?

The recalled Frederik’s Dark Chocolate Almonds were sold exclusively at Meijer stores across Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, and Wisconsin. If you purchased the product in these states, check the packaging for the affected UPC and sell-by dates to determine if it is part of the recall. If you have a product from this recall, discontinue consumption and return it to the store for a refund.

Symptoms of a Cashew Allergy

If you or someone you know consumes a product containing cashews and experiences symptoms, it may be due to an allergic reaction. Common symptoms of a cashew allergy include:

• Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat

• Hives or rash

• Difficulty breathing or wheezing

• Stomach pain or nausea

• Dizziness or lightheadedness

• Anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction), which is life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention

If you believe you’ve experienced an allergic reaction, seek medical help immediately.

Fuentes Farms LLC is recalling 71 boxes of fresh cucumbers due to possible contamination with Salmonella. The affected product was sold at flea markets in McAllen and Alamo, Texas. No illnesses have been reported, but consumers are advised to discard or return the product to the point of purchase.

Reason for Recall

The recall was issued because the cucumbers may be contaminated with Salmonella, a pathogen that can cause serious illness, particularly in young children, elderly individuals, and those with weakened immune systems. Although no illnesses have been reported, the recall is a precautionary measure after routine testing by Fuentes Farms revealed Salmonella contamination.

Where Is Fresh Cucumber Lot #357 Sold?

The affected cucumbers were sold at flea markets in the McAllen and Alamo areas of Texas. If you have purchased cucumbers during the dates from May 31 to June 3, 2025, at these locations, check the label for Lot #357 and immediately discontinue the sale or consumption of the product.

If you have the affected cucumbers, you are advised to dispose of them or return them to the point of purchase for a refund (if the store permits). Consumers should check their cucumbers for the Fuentes Farms label and the Lot #357 identifier to ensure they are affected by the recall.

Symptoms of Salmonella Infection

Salmonella infection can cause a variety of symptoms, including:
