A New York snack company has recalled hundreds of containers of a popular chocolate nut mix after a life-threatening mistake.
The recall comes after the company found that the product's label failed to disclose the presence of milk, soy, and cashews—three allergens capable of triggering severe and potentially fatal reactions.
The recalled containers are clear, rectangular plastic packages with sell-by dates ranging from Sept. 4, 2026, through Nov. 6, 2026, printed in the top left corner of the label. The company's name appears at the bottom of each package.
The recall was triggered after an inspection of the facility uncovered a discrepancy in the product's ingredient list, alerting company management to initiate the recall. No illnesses or injuries have been reported to date.
Cashew allergies carry similarly serious risks. According to Children's Allergy Doctors, peanuts and tree nuts—a category that includes cashews—are responsible for the most severe food-related allergic reactions, including life-threatening and deadly outcomes. Cashew allergies can also cause cross-reactions with pistachios and, in some cases, other tree nuts.
For soy allergy, the Cleveland Clinic says such occurs when the immune system misidentifies soy protein as a threat, setting off a reaction that can include hives, vomiting, stomach cramps, and in serious cases, anaphylaxis. While soy allergy is most common in infants and young children—affecting roughly 0.4 percent of U.S. infants—it can develop at any age.
Consumers who purchased the recalled bridge mix and have any of these allergies are urged not to eat the product. Affected customers should discard the item and return it to the store where it was purchased for a full refund.
