NatureBox, INC. recalled NatureBox Sticks 'n Stones; roasted nuts with sesame sticks in a Class II action, the FDA tier for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects on Oct 24, 2015.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Supplier notified firm that the oil used to roast nuts for a trail mix product had also been used to roast peanuts, leading to the possibility of peanut contamination. Peanuts were not listed in the allergen statement." 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 limited; the FDA record lists "Direct sales." Single-area recalls still warrant a kitchen check for anyone who shops within that footprint. The recalling firm is based in San Carlos, CA. The recall covers 8202 x 4.5 oz bags, 95 x 5 lb. corporate bags of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Nov 25, 2015), 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.
