If you have any of this oatmeal, throw it out now

[Mike Wehner]

• A brand of oatmeal that is sold across the United States has issued a recall due to the potential for undeclared allergens.
• The oatmeal, which was sold both online and in retail stores, may contain pecans, almonds, or other tree nuts, but these are not noted on the product label.
• If an individual with a severe nut allergy were to inadvertently eat a product containing tree nuts, they could face a life-threatening reaction.

Starting your day off with a nice bowl of oatmeal can be a great decision. Oatmeal — depending on the type you choose, and avoid adding a ton of sugar or sugar-rich toppings — can give you a nice dose of fiber and complex carbs to give you the energy to tackle the day, but if there are ingredients in it that you don't expect, that can be a serious issue.

A new recall posted by the FDA affects oatmeal that was sold across the United States, and the reason is quite serious. According to the bulletin, Think! brand oatmeal of a specific flavor (Protein + Fiber Oatmeal, Farmer’s Market Berry Crumble) is being recalled because it may contain tree nuts such as almonds and pecans. That's not a big deal for someone without allergy concerns, but for anyone with a nut allergy it could mean a severe (and potentially even life-threatening) reaction.
