Where Was This Sold?

The product was distributed to one wholesaler - Associated Food Stores (AFS) Farr West, Far West, Utah. The January 31, 2015 code was first not thought to have been distributed to retail, however; Associated Food Stores corrected this information and issued a second recall notice because the product had been distributed from their warehouse to retail.
