We R Nuts has recalled 254 containers of Uncle Giuseppe’s Milk Chocolate Bridge Mix after a facility inspection found undeclared milk, soy and cashews. (fda.gov) The recalled product was sold in 11-ounce Uncle Giuseppe’s branded containers at stores in New York and New Jersey. The company said people with allergies or severe sensitivities to milk, soy or cashews could face serious or life-threatening reactions. (fda.gov) The affected tubs carry sell-by dates from September 4, 2026, through November 6, 2026. We R Nuts said the issue was discovered during a facility inspection that identified a discrepancy in the product’s ingredient list. (fda.gov) The Food and Drug Administration said no illnesses had been reported when the recall was announced on April 27, 2026. Consumers were told not to eat the product and to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. (fda.gov) Food labels are supposed to flag major allergens so shoppers can avoid ingredients that can trigger rapid immune reactions. The Food and Drug Administration lists milk, soy and tree nuts such as cashews among the allergens that require clear disclosure on packaged foods. (fda.gov) Newsweek’s report followed the federal recall notice and described the product as a chocolate snack mix sold in two states. The underlying recall notice names the product more specifically as Uncle Giuseppe’s Milk Chocolate Bridge Mix. (newsweek.com) (fda.gov) For shoppers, the practical check is the package: Uncle Giuseppe’s brand, 11 ounces, and a sell-by date between September 4 and November 6, 2026. If those details match, the company and federal regulators say the product should go back to the store, not into a snack bowl. (fda.gov)
