South Georgia Pecan Co. has issued a recall for some of its nuts due to an allergy risk that could be life-threatening for some people.

The recall affects 4-ounce pouches of Great Value Walnut Chopped Pieces sold at select Walmart stores in Florida, North Carolina, and South Carolina. The affected walnuts may have pecan pieces in them instead of walnuts due to a mislabeling issue.

South Georgia Pecan Co. said it was notified of the mislabeling issue by Walmart. The company also said no illnesses have been reported to date due to the label mistake.

The recalled nuts were sold in resealable pouches and have a UPC number of 78742201344. The product also has a lot code of #29329 and a best if used by date of April 29, 2023. The nuts were distributed to retailers from Aug. 8, 2022 to Aug. 16, 2022.

According to the company, consumers that have an allergy or sensitivity to pecans could have a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the product.

To receive a full refund for the recalled nuts, consumers are urged to return them to the place of purchase or discard the product to forgo a refund.

Questions about the recall can be directed to South Georgia Pecan Co.'s customer service at 1-800-627-6630, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET.
