Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Company LLC of Kea'au, HI, is voluntarily recalling its Mauna Loa Dark Chocolate Covered Macadamias (0.6oz and 4oz bags) due to the possible presence of undeclared almonds and cashews. Consumers with allergies or severe sensitivities to almonds or cashews risk serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume this product.
The recalled Mauna Loa Dark Chocolate Covered Macadamias were distributed to retail locations across AZ, CA, CO, FL, HI, IL, ME, MI, NJ, OR, PA, TX, UT, VA, WA, WI, and Guam. The affected 0.6oz bags carry UPC 0 72992 05464 4, lot numbers K5069C1 and K5069C2, and a best by date of 10/2026. The affected 4oz bags carry UPC 0 72992 05556 6, lot numbers B4339E1 and B4340E1, and a best by date of 07/2026.
No illnesses or adverse reactions have been reported to date in connection with this issue. The recall was initiated after Mauna Loa's internal quality control process identified that a batch manufactured by a third-party co-manufacturer contained undeclared almonds and cashews. Immediate steps were taken to contain the affected product, notify the co-manufacturer, alert consumers and distributors, and report the issue to the FDA.
Consumers who have purchased the affected 0.6oz or 4oz bags and have an almond or cashew allergy are urged not to consume the product and to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
