URBAN MEADOW Dry Roasted Unsalted Peanuts Recalled for Aflatoxin

The Leavitt Corporation is recalling URBAN MEADOW brand dry roasted unsalted peanuts (16 oz jars) because the product may contain high levels of aflatoxin, a naturally occurring toxin that can cause serious health effects.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall involving aflatoxin, a high-risk natural contaminant in peanuts. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, so the hazard is theoretical; however, aflatoxin is a known carcinogen and serious health hazard, placing this at the High severity level per the rubric.
