TradeEdge Exchange:Great Value cashews sold at Walmart stores in 30 states recalled, FDA says

John B. Sanfilippo & Son Incorporated, the company that makes and sells “Great Value Honey Roasted Cashews,” among other nut products said Tuesday that it was recalling a “limited amount” of the product because it may contain “undeclared coconut and milk.”
