Tree nuts prompt Cappuccino Meltaway Bars' recall — holiday candy sold nationwide
CBSN
Gardners Candies is recalling Cappuccino Meltaway Bars sold nationwide because they may contain undeclared cashews, which can pose serious or life-threatening reactions in people with tree nut allergies.
The Tyrone, Pennsylvania-based candy maker initiated its recall after discovering the "tree nut-containing product was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of tree nuts," it said in a notice posted Friday by the Food and Drug Administration.
"People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to tree nuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products," Gardners stated. Nearly 4 million Americans are allergic to tree nuts, according to Food Allergy Research & Education, a health advocacy group.
