Nut recall set at highest FDA level

A batch of recalled Wegmans nuts has been issued a Class II risk classification by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Newsweek reports United Natural Trading Inc. has issued a voluntary recall for Wegmans organic dry roasted salted almonds in January because they were labeled incorrectly as cashews on the back.

The initial recall was issued through the FDA on Jan. 6, but the agency revealed its risk classification on Thursday. A total of 404 cases of the product (with 12 bags per case) were impacted by the initial recall. The products had lot number 24305, and a best-by date of July 28. The nuts came in 12 oz. clear bags, and were distributed to Pennsylvania, Virginia and New York.
