Class II U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Prolon Apulian Almond & Cocoa Spread recall: Undeclared cashews, pistachios and/or hazelnut

Recall published 2 months ago

Undeclared cashews, pistachios and/or hazelnut

The hazard: Undeclared peanuts or tree nuts

The product contains peanuts or tree nuts that the packaging never declared. If nobody in your home avoids peanuts or tree nuts, there is no health reason to throw it away — though the refund still stands.

What the notice says: People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to cashew, pistachio, and/or hazelnut run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.

Why it matters: The label does not declare peanuts or tree nuts, so anyone who reads labels to avoid it has no way of knowing it is in there. For people without that allergy the product is safe to eat.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

An undeclared allergen is a danger only to people allergic or intolerant to that ingredient. For everyone else the food is safe. Reactions range from an itchy mouth, hives, stomach cramps or vomiting through to anaphylaxis — swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, a tight chest, wheezing, a sudden drop in blood pressure or collapse. If anaphylaxis is suspected, use an epinephrine auto-injector straight away and call 911, even if the symptoms seem to settle, because a second wave can follow hours later.

Apulian Almond & Cocoa Spread

What the company announced

L-Nutra of Culver City, California is recalling Prolon brand Apulian Almond & Cocoa Spread because it contains undeclared cashew, pistachio, and hazelnut. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to cashew, pistachio, and/or hazelnut run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.

The product was distributed via L-Nutra's e-commerce site, ProlonLife.com, either as a direct purchase or included in certain Prolon product bundles.

Recalled product can be identified as follows: Prolon brand Apulian Almond & Cocoa Spread, packaged in 8.47oz (240g) glass jars with UPC 850040360530 . The recalled lot is L2755 , and the expiration date is January 2, 2027 , which can be found on the jar cap, directly beneath the expiration date.

To date, L-Nutra has documented one confirmed allergic reaction associated with this product.

The recall was initiated after testing confirmed the presence of undeclared tree nut allergens in product that did not disclose these ingredients on its label. The cause is still under investigation.

At this time, Lot L2755 is the only lot known to be affected.

Codes are lifted verbatim from the FDA — Company recall announcements notice. A code that is missing here may still be covered — the official notice is the complete list.

What to do about Nuts

Prolon — The product contains peanuts or tree nuts that the packaging never declared. If nobody in your home avoids peanuts or tree nuts, there is no health reason to throw it away — though the refund still stands.

  1. If anyone in your household avoids peanuts or tree nuts, stop serving the product immediately and check whether any was used in food already prepared.
  2. Keep the pack if you want a refund, or photograph the label and the lot code and then bin it. If nobody in the house avoids peanuts or tree nuts, you may simply eat it — the recall is about disclosure, not spoilage.
  3. Make sure the household epinephrine auto-injector is where it should be and in date, if someone here carries one.
  4. If a reaction has already happened, report it to the FDA through its consumer complaint coordinator so the case is attached to this recall.

Getting a refund without the pack

The commonest reason people skip the refund is that they have already thrown the item away. That rarely matters.

  • A photo of the label and lot code is accepted by most grocers, and so is a card statement line showing the purchase.
  • Store credit is often offered first. You can ask for the original payment method instead, and it is normally granted.
  • No photo either? Ask anyway. Grocery chains settle recall refunds at the service desk because disputing them costs more than paying them.
  • For a multi-pack or a case, ask for the full purchase price rather than a per-unit figure — the recall covers what you paid.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers who have the recalled product should stop consuming it immediately and discard the product or complete our short recall response form at [ www.l-nutra.com/recall ] to arrange a return.
