Gardners Candies is recalling some Cappuccino Meltaway bars because their packaging is missing a nut disclaimer.
The recalled 1.25-ounce packages of the candy “may contain undeclared tree nuts (cashews),” the Pennsylvania-based company said in an FDA release Friday.
Recall comes “after it was discovered that a product containing nuts was distributed in packaging that did not disclose the presence of nuts,” Gardners Candies said in a statement.
