Undeclared Almonds Prompt Recall of Mauna Loa Macadamias in California

A voluntary recall has been announced for Mauna Loa Milk Chocolate Covered Macadamias snack (1oz) pouches.

The affected items were distributed to two retail locations in Southern California (World Market and Abraham & Sons, Inc.).
