Timeline

Companies usually start a recall weeks before the FDA classifies and publishes it; the gap above is that lag.
Reason for recall
Packages are mislabeled and actually contain undeclared mixed nuts instead of chocolate covered cashews.
Food allergen labelling is required by US law for the nine major allergens. A product recalled for an undeclared allergen is only a risk to people with that allergy; everyone else can consume it safely.
