Gardners Candies is recalling Cappuccino Meltaway Bars sold nationwide because they may contain undeclared cashews, which can pose serious or life-threatening reactions in people with tree nut allergies.
The Tyrone, Pennsylvania-based candy maker initiated its recall after discovering the "tree nut-containing product was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of tree nuts," it said in a notice posted Friday by the Food and Drug Administration.
