Check your pantries, everyone — supermarket brand Trader Joe’s is recalling its Trader Joe’s Raw Cashew Pieces, after the supplier discovered some packages may be contaminated with salmonella.

The company is recalling all bags with “BEST BEFORE 07.17.2016TF4” stamped on them, CNN reports, and has removed all bags that may be tainted from store shelves. The store asks that customers who purchased bags with that label either dispose of them, or return them to the store for a refund. There have been no reported illnesses connected to the contamination, the company says.

Salmonella causes approximately 1.2 million illnesses and 450 deaths in the U.S. each year, according to CDC estimates. Symptoms include fever, vomiting, and diarrhea — contact your doctor immediately if you believe you’re sick from salmonella.

For more information on the recall, call Trader Joe’s Customer Relations at (626) 599-3817.
