Specialty Commodities, Inc. Issues Allergy Alert on Undeclared Cashew Allergen in Dry Roasted Almonds
January 21 2017 - 11:00AM
Business Wire
Specialty Commodities, Inc. (SCI), a subsidiary of Archer
Daniels Midland Company (NYSE: ADM), is recalling a specific lot of
dry roasted almonds because they may contain undeclared cashews.
People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to cashews run the
risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they
consume these products.
The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the
cashew-containing product was distributed in packaging that did not
reveal the presence of cashews. The recalled dry roasted almonds
were distributed between December 22, 2016, and January 19, 2017,
to three customers, one of whom redistributed them for sale in
either bulk bins or clam shells to retail outlets in California,
including Safeway and Nugget Markets.
Representatives of SCI are working with DSD Merchandisers Inc.,
the distribution customer, and these outlets to ensure the product
is removed from shelves and returned. No illnesses have been
reported to date in connection with this issue.
Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a
temporary process irregularity that occurred at the third-party
contract manufacturer that processed and packaged the almonds for
SCI. Then, an inventory processing irregularity resulted in the
almonds being forwarded to the impacted customers.
Please direct any customer inquiries to 770-752-8229 between
the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Eastern Time Monday through
Friday.
