The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently shared a report that John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc (JBSS) announced a voluntary recall of a limited amount of 8.25 oz Great Value Honey Roasted Cashews. The problem is not so much with the nuts themselves, but rather with the labels on the cans. Some labels may have omitted a couple of important ingredients...

...it may contain undeclared coconut and milk. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to coconut or milk run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume this product."
