If you or anyone you know is a fan of the Kind brand on snack bars, you may be surprised to learn that they have recently been voluntarily recalled to “ensure those with serious food allergies avoid” purchasing boxes of mislabeled Dark Chocolate Nuts & Sea Salt bars. According to Kind Snacks, a “limited number” of its boxes of Dark Chocolate Nuts & Sea Salt bars failed to include the fact that the bars “contained walnuts, a tree nut that can trigger serious, life-threatening allergic reactions,” on the labels.
