Company recalls packages of cashews, trail mix after glass found in snacks
A food company has issued a recall for packages of cashews and trail mix in 11 states, including Georgia, after a customer reported finding pieces of glass in the snacks.
The Sept. 24 recall by SunTree Snack Foods includes multiple product brands such as Happy Belly, Prince & Spring, Harris Teeter and HEB, all which contain cashews.
There are a total of 11 potential contaminated snacks that vary by package size and “best-before” dates. All the snacks were distributed to retail outlets in Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Washington, D.C.
A full list of the products, along with photos, are spelled out in a news release from SunTree Snack Foods. The Food and Drug Administration also lists the products on its website.
So far no injuries have been reported from consumption of the products. Meanwhile, an investigation has been launched into how glass might have gotten into the snacks.
The company, based in Phoenix, Arizona, is urging “an abundance of caution” and advises customers to return the snacks to the store for a full refund.
