FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - December 19, 2012 - Udi's Healthy Foods, LLC of Denver, Colorado, is voluntarily recalling its 12-ounce bags of "Udi's Gluten Free Au Naturel Granola" with UPC 6-98997-80615-8 and "Best By 041913 12265 1" because they may contain undeclared almonds. People who are allergic to almonds run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

Recalled "Udi's Gluten Free Au Naturel Granola" products were distributed through retail stores in California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington beginning on or about September 24, 2012. The product comes in a 12-ounce, clear plastic bag marked with BEST BY 041913 12265 1 on back of the bag, underneath the Nutrition Facts panel.

I knew it. FYI to anyone who was using or thinking about using Udi's they've redesigned packaging. The old package said NUT FREE (hah!) while the back had a warning for tree nuts. The new package removed the large NUT FREE claim on the front and the tree nut warning on the back.
