The problem is that wasabi almonds, which contain wheat and soy, were packaged in a bag of Southern Grove Unsalted Almonds. If you bought this product and are allergic to soy and/or wheat, or are gluten intolerant, do not eat it. Throw it away or take it back to the store where you bought it for a full refund.
The symptoms of a food allergen vary widely. Early, less serious symptoms can include tingling of the mouth, lips, and tongue; itching, hives, or eczema; or nasal congestion. More serious symptoms can include swelling of the face, lips, tongue, and throat or other parts of the body; wheezing or trouble breathing; abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting, and dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting. Anyone experiencing these symptoms should see a doctor.
