If you purchased these nuts, do not eat them, even if you plan to use them in cooking or baking because of the possibility of cross-contamination. You can throw the macadamia nuts away in a secure garbage can after first double bagging them so other people can’t access them, or you can take them back to the store where you bought them for a full refund.
