    John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc (JBSS) is voluntarily recalling a "limited amount" of Great Value Honey Roasted Cashews, UPC 078742133348, because it may contain undeclared coconut and milk.

    The affected products were distributed via Walmart.com and physical stores in the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, West Virginia.

    No adverse reactions have been reported as of Wednesday. Officials urge consumers who purchased the nuts to throw them out or get a refund from a Walmart store.
