If you're a fan of cashews who has dairy or coconut allergies, pay close attention and make sure you check your can of 'Great Value Honey Roasted Cashews'.  A consumer reported finding pieces of coconut cashews in a can marked honey roasted.

The recall impacts 30 states where the products was placed on shelves in select Walmart locations.  While California is the only West Coast State listed in the recall, don't necessarily breathe a sigh of relief if you live in Washington State or Oregon for that matter.  It also impacts any can that were ordered on Walmart.com.

So if you've had the Great Value Honey Roasted Cashews before, say visiting family or friends in another part of the country... and you liked them enough to order them online since you might not get them at your local Walmart in Washington State or Oregon, check the bottom of the can.

No adverse reactions have been reported at this time, but an investigation identified that a limited number of incorrect honey roasted cashew labels were applied to the plastic cans of coconut cashews during the manufacturing process.

If you have a milk or coconut allergy you are strongly advised to throw out the can(s) or return the product to a Walmart store for a full refund.  The allergic reaction could be serious enough to cause death.
