No illnesses have been reported, but consumers should not eat these products, and retailers should not sell them. Check the FSIS website for a list of affected products and labels. Discard or return any recalled items.
Symptoms of Salmonella infection include diarrhea, cramps, and fever. Contact a healthcare provider if you are concerned about illness. For questions, call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 888-674-6854 or visit the FSIS website for more information.

Second Nature Brands, based in Madison Heights, MI, has issued a voluntary nationwide recall of certain 10-ounce packages of SECOND NATURE KETO CRUNCH SMART MIX™ due to undeclared cashews, pistachios, and cherries. The recall was announced after it was discovered that product containing these ingredients was distributed in packaging that did not list them, posing a risk to individuals with allergies or sensitivities to tree nuts or cherries.
The affected product is sold in a 10-ounce pouch with the UPC 077034013405 and marked with a “Best if used by 2/12/2027” date on the back. All other date codes are not included in the recall. No illnesses have been reported to date.
The issue was traced to a temporary breakdown in production and packaging processes. Second Nature Brands urges consumers who purchased the product with the specified date to not consume it and to contact the company for a full refund.
Consumers can reach Second Nature Brands at 1-800-651-7263 (Monday-Friday, 8:00AM-8:00PM ET; Saturday-Sunday, 9:00AM-5:00PM ET) or via email at recall@secondnaturebrandsus.com.
