The recall was initiated after it was discovered that product contained peanut allergen through cross contamination of raw materials. The firm is investigating if the affected products contained peanut allergen through cross contamination of raw materials by one of our vendors since at the time we were a peanut free facility. The company has since changed its suspected vendor of cashew butter. The new vendor has a dedicated cashew line and claims no chance of cross contamination.
