Trader Joe's Recalls Cashews (Salmonella)




The company said it was informed by a supplier that Trader Joe's Raw Cashew Pieces -- marked with the code "BEST BEFORE 07.17.2016TF4" -- may be tainted. Trader Joe's has removed the line of cashews from its shelves and warned consumers who may have purchased Trader Joe's Raw Cashew Pieces with the specific lot code to not eat it and either throw it away or return it to the store for a refund.

    Here is the statement:
