Oklahoma City-based Neighbors Coffee is recalling nearly 20,000 pounds of nut-flavored whole-bean coffee because it contains undeclared almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts and pecans. People with allergies can suffer serious and life-threatening reactions to the nuts.
The recall covers eight-ounce, one-pound and five-pound bags of whole-bean, nut-flavored coffees produced from Feb. 12 through Aug. 12. Only five-pound bags bear lot numbers, located on the front and bottom center of the coffee packages. The recalled lot numbers are 0434 through 2254.
The recalled coffee flavors are Almond Amaretto, Banana Nut Creme, Butter Pecan, Caramel Nut, Chocolate Hazelnut, Chocolate Pecan Fudge, Cinnamon Chocolate Almond, Coco Cabaret, Coco Mocho Nut, Dark Roast Hazelnut, Dutch Chocolate Almond, Frangelico Creme, French Vanilla Almond, Hazelnut, Hazelnut Creme, Holiday Cheer, Honey Maple Praline, Mochadoodle, Nutterfinger, Pralines and Creme, Snickerdoodle, Sooner Smoother, Southern Pecan, Toasted Almond and Vanilla Nut Creme.
Company spokesman Steve Neighbors said no injury or death has been reported to date. The company will no longer add nuts to its flavored coffees.
Consumers may return the recalled coffee at the place of purchase for an exchange or refund. Customers with questions may call Neighbors Coffee at 1-800-299-9016 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. EDT weekdays.

Bought a burger from an AM/PM the other day,opened the wrapper and printed on the inside was "Place sandwich here".
I was laughing and very worried at the same time.

No kidding!
On the back of the DiGiorno pizza box are two instructions that conform that notion:
Do not eat pizza without cooking
(Which means some boob tried it) and
Remove pizza from box, overwrap and cardboard.
Pathetic.

Eaker and humblegunner are the nuts we use to flavor our Houston FR Chapter. You know, I can't come up with a single thing to dispute that.
To: mdittmar
As opposed to declared nuts like John F. Kerry?

I think some of those women on Germany's Olympic team have undeclared nuts.

My brother and fellow FReeper, OC_Steve just moved to Houston from Orange County, CA. Sounds like he'd fit in fine there.

Is it flavored with nuts or flavored by people who are "nuts"?

You heard it here first, you better declare your nuts in your coffee or they will be recalled.
