Cashew Brittle Bits in clear 4oz bag with a Best By date of 07/14/19 and barcode number of 00369

Hercules Candy Company recalled Cashew Brittle Bits in clear 4oz bag with a Best By date of 07/14/19 and barcode number of 00369 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 Apr 5, 2019.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Product may contain undeclared peanuts" 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 "9 bags were sold in the NY retail store and 6 bags were sold online to customers in NE, MN, MA, OK, and IL." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in East Syracuse, NY. The recall covers 15 - 4 oz bags of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported May 8, 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.
