How to check your package

Look at the front of the bag to confirm the product is No Name chopped walnuts and check the net weight. Then find the UPC and the printed best-before and lot information, usually on or near the package seal.


Check the official No Name chopped walnuts recall notice

  1. Confirm that the package is either 100 g or 400 g.
  2. Compare the UPC with the matching code in the table.
  3. Check the best-before date and lot number, not just the brand name.
  4. If all of the relevant details match, do not eat or serve the walnuts.

A package is not automatically part of this recall just because it is the same brand. The size, UPC, date, and lot information need to match the CFIA listing.

What to do if you have a recalled package

Do not use, sell, serve, or distribute the affected walnuts. Keep the package separate from other food, and follow the retailer’s instructions for a refund or disposal. If you have already opened the bag, avoid handling the contents more than necessary and clean any surface that came into contact with the walnuts.

If you bought the product in a store, contact that store or its customer-service department with the package available. Retailers may ask for the UPC, lot code, best-before date, or a photo before processing a refund. The CFIA notice does not provide a single nationwide refund procedure.

If the walnuts were used in a recipe, do not serve the food until you have confirmed that the package was not one of the affected lots. If you believe someone was injured after eating a shell fragment, seek appropriate medical care and keep the packaging for identification.

Where the recall applies

The CFIA lists distribution in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. The notice is directed at the Canadian retail supply chain and does not list the United States as an affected distribution area.

That does not establish that every package outside the four provinces is safe or unsafe. Products can sometimes be carried between provinces or purchased while travelling. If you bought a matching package elsewhere in Canada, do not use it until you have contacted the retailer or confirmed the product’s status with the CFIA.

Recall status and what happens next

The CFIA describes this as a Class 2 recall and identifies the recall as RA-82629. The original recall date shown in the notice is September 4, 2026, and the public alert was published on September 15, 2026.

At the time of publication, the official notice says the affected walnuts should not be used, sold, served, or distributed. Check the CFIA page for any later update before disposing of unusual packaging or relying on information shared on social media.
