Commissioner Tommy Irvin warns Georgia consumers that Harry and David is recalling boxes of Giant Cashews because they may contain mixed nuts, including peanuts, almonds, pecans and Brazil nuts not listed on the ingredient statement.

Harry and David is recalling the 4-oz. Giant Cashews with lot codes 2507 MSL 15:00 through 2507 MSL 18:00 and a use by date of 6/28/08.  The lot code and use by date are ink jetted on the bottom of the box.  Affected boxes also can be recognized by the price sticker on the bottom, or lower portion of the back, of the box. The price sticker states "Nuts Mixed Nuts Box 4oz". These products are packaged in paperboard boxes with bags of metalized film containing nuts inside. The boxes are olive green with a pale green design in the background.

“Anyone who has these cashews should return them to the Harry and David retail store where they were purchased,” said Irvin.

The product was distributed to the Harry and David stores throughout the United States beginning 11/16/07.
