Zingerman’s Candy Manufactory is recalling certain candy bars just days before Halloween over the possible presence of undeclared peanuts and cashews.
The Ann Arbor, Michigan–based company said select Peanut Butter Crush full-size bars may contain undeclared cashews, while Ca$hew Cow full-size bars may contain undeclared peanuts, according to a Monday announcement from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The affected products were distributed to retailers in Michigan and New York, the FDA said.
