Potentially ‘serious’ problem gets Walmart store-brand nuts recalled in 30 states
Nuts sold by Walmart online and in 30 states got recalled for a mislabeling problem that can lead to a much more serious problem.
What’s in the cans labeled as Great Value Honey Roasted Cashews might be coconut cashews. Coconut cashews have coconut and milk, both allergens that are not in the honey-roasted flavor. So on those cans, coconut and milk wouldn’t be listed as allergens among the ingredients.
For most people, popping the cashews in their mouth would mean just getting an unexpected flavor. But as the FDA-posted recall notice said, “People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to coconut or milk run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume this product.”
John B. Sanfilippo & Son makes Great Value Honey Roasted Cashews for Walmart and recalled lot No. GH2 with a best by date of Jul 08 2025 on the bottom of the 8.25-ounce plastic can. The UPC code is 078742133348.
