Tropical Nut & Fruit Company recalled Truly Good Foods SOUTH OF THE BORDER nut mix NET CT/WT: 25lb box in a Class II action, the FDA tier for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects on Dec 6, 2019.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "The firm discovered that the product inside the South of the Border box is a different product with different allergens from what the label stated. Product was distributed in cardboard boxes with labeling that did not declare the presence of soy and tree nuts (almonds)." 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.

The product reached multiple states, recorded by the FDA as "Product was shipped to the following states: CT, DE, IL, IN, KY, MA, MD, NC, NJ, NY, OH, PA, SC & VA." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Charlotte, NC. The recall covers 106/25lb boxes of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Dec 25, 2019), 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.
