Check the codes, then return or discard. Class II means eating it may cause temporary or reversible health problems. If your package matches the recalled codes, do not eat it - return it to the store or throw it away. The risk from an undeclared allergen is to people allergic to peanut; for anyone else the product is generally not a safety concern. FDA lists this recall as terminated: the company has finished removing the product, so it should no longer be on shelves - but it can still be in a freezer or pantry.
Reason The firm received notification from a consumer finding a glass fragment in Southern Grove Cashew Halves, 8.oz. Source of glass is unknown. It is suspected the glass fragments came in with the raw material.
