If you or anyone you know is a fan of the Kind brand of snack bars, you may be surprised to learn that they have recently been voluntarily recalled to “ensure those with serious food allergies avoid” purchasing boxes of mislabeled Dark Chocolate Nuts & Sea Salt bars. According to Kind Snacks, a “limited number” of its boxes of Dark Chocolate Nuts & Sea Salt bars failed to include the fact that the bars “contained walnuts, a tree nut that can trigger serious, life-threatening allergic reactions,” on the labels.

According to the recall notice:

“The recalled products may be safely consumed by those who do not have an allergy or sensitivity to walnuts. People who have an allergy or sensitivity to walnuts should not consume these products.”

• Dark Chocolate Nuts and Sea Salt (12-Count Box) Lot Code: BK16264A1 Best Before Date: 12/20/2017

• Dark Chocolate Nuts and Sea Salt (12-Count Box) Lot Code: BK16308A1 Best Before Date: 2/4/18
