Medical Forum / General / General / March 2007What is wrong with CostCo cashews bought Feb 2007 recall?
What is wrong with Costco cashews bought in February 2007? I just received a recall notice from Costco that the cashews "didn't meet quality standards". I already ate the cashews. What was wrong with them as Costco didn't say. I asked and the people at the store said they didn't know. What is wrong with Costco cashews bought in February 2007?

Given the amount of time that has passed, I would have to presume that whatever was/is wrong isn't life threatening. If it were, you wouldn't be posting :) I can't find anything on Costco's web site about cashews being recalled. A Google search didn't tell me anything current.

Hmmm, it doesn't show up on the FDA recall list. Maybe in the next issue or two they'll have it listed. http://www.fda.gov/opacom/Enforce.html I guess that's one advtange of having your store know every little thing you buy. >> What is wrong with Costco cashews bought in February 2007? >> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > I guess that's one advtange of having your store know every little > thing you buy. If the cashews didn't meet the quality standards of CostCo, but were safe to eat, they wouldn't show up on the FDA recall list. Jeff > I guess that's one advtange of having your store know every little > thing you buy. What, so you can get a call from Costco: "We see that you bought a can of cashews on 2/12, and we're calling to find out if you would be interested in our line of caskets?" >> I guess that's one advtange of having your store know every little >> thing you buy. > > What, so you can get a call from Costco: > "We see that you bought a can of cashews on 2/12, and we're calling > to find out if you would be interested in our line of caskets?" Does CostCo advertise like that? > What is wrong with Costco cashews bought in February 2007? > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > What is wrong with Costco cashews bought in February 2007? > Carol There's also nothing on Costco's own website. http://www.costco.com/Service/FeaturePageLeftNav.aspx?ProductNo=10045085 What exactly does the recall notice say, what is the date on it? > What is wrong with Costco cashews bought in February 2007? > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > What is wrong with Costco cashews bought in February 2007? > Carol It's a rumor started by the Peanut Cartel (allegedly helmed by ex-prez Jimmy Carter) to improve profits.

Just like the bags of peanuts that have the statement "Warning! Packaged in a facility that processes nuts." Amazing. > It's a rumor started by the Peanut Cartel (allegedly helmed by ex-prez > Jimmy Carter) > to improve profits. The Tri-Legume Commission?

The chemicals are in the shell, not the nut. >>> What is wrong with Costco cashews bought in February 2007? >>> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > The chemicals are in the shell, not the nut. just make sure they're not raw: http://www.lesliebeck.com/ingredient_index.php?featured_food=67 Cashews come from the same plant family as mango and pistachio, as well as poison ivy and poison oak. The "poison" in these plants refers to the powerful chemical irritants they contain, which causes our skin to itch. So, handling and eating raw cashews will cause the same itchy skin reaction in people sensitive to the irritant as handling poison ivy. Since these caustic chemicals are found in the shell oil, not the nuts themselves, shelling them removes much of this oil and irritants. Roasting cashews at a high temperature helps ensure that commercially sold nuts will not trigger a reaction in their consumers, since the roasting process destroys the shell oil that may still remain on the nut. > What is wrong with Costco cashews bought in February 2007? > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > What is wrong with Costco cashews bought in February 2007? > Carol They make you mistype Costco as CostCo.
