Mixed nuts in a plastic bag labeled in part: PREMIUM QUALITY; Terri Lynn Inc.; Deluxe Mixed; No Peanuts; NET WT. 16 OZ. (1 LB.) 454 g; P.O. BOX 5118 ELGIN, IL 60121

Terri Lynn INC. recalled Mixed nuts in a plastic bag labeled in part: in a Class I action — the FDA's most serious tier, reserved for products with a reasonable probability of causing serious health consequences or death on Aug 12, 2013.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Terri Lynn Inc. "Deluxe Mixed Nuts No Peanuts" was found to have undeclared peanuts inside the bag." Allergen mislabeling is the leading cause of U.S. food recalls, because a missing declaration can trigger a reaction in someone who reads the label and believes the product is safe.

Distribution was broad: the FDA record describes it as "US: Nationwide (AK, CT, FL, GA, IA, IL, IN, KS, MD, MI, MT, NC, NJ, NV, OH, PA, WI, WV)," which places this among the wider-reach recalls on the site. Consumers across the affected area should check product on hand. The recalling firm is based in Elgin, IL. The recall covers 799 bags of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Nov 27, 2013), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved. The historical record remains useful for tracking a brand's recall pattern over time.
