The company said it has taken steps to prevent a recurrence of the error, which it found after examining boxes of Jell-O still under its control.
No other Jell-O products are part of the recall, the company said. Consumers were advised to return the recalled Jell-O boxes to the stores where they were purchased for a full refund, Kraft said.
The company saw no health risk for people who are not allergic to pistachio nuts.
