US: General Mills recalls Nature Valley bar on allergen alert
By Katy Askew | 27 September 2012
General Mills has recalled one day's production of Almond Nature Valley Sweet and Salty Nut granola bars in the US because of a "labelling issue".
The company said it has issued the voluntary recall because the product may contain allergens not listed in the ingredients - namely peanuts. General Mills said the issue arose from the result of a production error, which is now resolved.
No illnesses have been reported in relation to the recalled products.

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--General Mills is voluntarily recalling a single day's production of Almond Nature Valley Sweet & Salty Nut Granola Bars because of a labeling issue.
