Meijer Announces Recall of Frederik’s Dark Chocolate Almonds Due to Undeclared Cashews

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.
