Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture Tommy Irvin is warning consumers that some pesto sauce distributed by Cibo Naturals of Seattle, Wash., is being recalled by the company because it may contain pine nuts, a known allergen, not listed on the label.

People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to pine nuts (tree nuts) run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.
