Are the Kirkland mixed nuts roasted? As it not labeled might meant fried with oil used repeatedly, hence the nuts is unhealthy.

I just read the labels and there is no mention of being fried in oil. The label does say that the nuts were packaged on equipment used to package peanuts, soy products, milk products, etc. However, I tend to think that the nuts are healthy because I can eat them and I am allergic to anything cooked in peanut oil.

I would also suspect that the methods of consumption are largely based on the ways in which the product is stored. I have seen many types of oils, some commonly consumed internally, that are sometimes designated as suitable for internal use with the same product designated in other places that the oils are not food grade, or for external use only.

We have peanut and tree nut allergies and have been using it for a while. It would have to state on the package if there is a chance of cross contamination or if tree nuts and peanuts are processed on the same equioment. I read all the ingredients before buying but to reassure yourself, you should go to their website or give them a call.

Roasted. There is also some blanched almonds along with the roasted ones. It's the best mixed nut bag I have ever gotten. We eat nuts every day and this is THE ONE !

I do not know if they are roasted or not, they are good and they have been very lightly salted. I have ordered at least 12 times and find them very enjoyable.

I'm not sure why they would do that. If you're talking about gefen whole chestnuts, they're already roasted. The ones I received were delicious.

There is no other info that what you see, either here at Amazon or at their web site. Try their contact info: Call (713) 661-2972 and/or E-mail:spicyworldofusa@gmail.com I don't even store the open bag in the refrigerator/freezer here in central Texas and I have not had a problem with them (4 lbs only last me about 3 months, I eat a lot of them each day). They do not seem to be any worst or better that all the other almonds that I have purchased in the past (including bulk at the local stores and the Diamond brand). I would be more interested in finding out how these, and all the other brands, pasteurize their nuts. I found this comment by another person: "I am just learning about raw foods and in a workshop I went to, we were told that ALL almonds from California do have to be pasturized by law, but that it is only in California. We were told that you can buy truly raw almonds from out of state, which of course means buying online. They also do not have to lable the package that the almonds, or any other nut from California, are pasturized. We were also told that you cannot buy directly from the grower because they cannot sell nuts without going thru their process. " Here is another take: http://detoxinista.com/2012/08/are-your-almonds-truly-raw/ And another: http://www.organicpastures.com/products_almonds.html Good Luck, Steve

Mine did. It was quite disgusting -- and very unexpected. There was a full-sized maggot in one of the nuts (there may have been maggots in more than one of the nuts, but at that point, I stopped eating them). When I contacted the company, instead of sounding concerned or appalled, they treated as if it were normal and to be expected. If finding such a thing in a pistachio weren't bad enough, to have the company respond like that? Inexcusable. I couldn't recommend these. Pistachios are great, but not when you have to be worried about getting roasted and salted maggots along with them... :/

Their packaging says all-natural but doesn't mention organic. Their website (justins dot com, under initiatives) says they can't source organic nuts at this time.

Since I use a variety of high-quality fish oil supplements, I can state that I investigated the issue thoroughly prior to testing. If it had been produced in any questionable locale or by any suspect company, I would never have agreed to reviewing the product. My primary objection to the product was its unnecessary use of soybean oil. There are always options to this ingredient. Given that objection, Eklund's was one of the only Omega 3 products I could "feel," eg. it potentiated the positive effects of antidepressants I've used over time and appeared to benefit mood regulation, too.

The packaging states that it's processed in the same facility as tree nuts and soy. Since haselnuts are tree nuts, then it is possible they are processed there too.

No you should not do it , because manufacturer suggest that you should not grind anything that has oil as far as I know almond does contain oil.

I've had raw cashews from the farmers market and I just got cashews from Spicy World. They seem stale. I will be returning them right away. Must be just these cashews, the raw almonds I got from Spicy World were super fresh.

It is bits of roasted non-GMO soy. Some health food stores sell roasted soy nuts. :-)
