Plain-English summary

Sarap Asian Fusion is voluntarily recalling Matcha Chocolate cookies due to the presence of undeclared wheat and soy lecithin. The product is a 70-gram cookie containing flour, eggs, baking soda, baking powder, milk powder, white sugar, brown sugar, salt, butter, matcha, vanilla extract, and milk chocolate. The cookies were manufactured at 12042 West St. in Garden Grove, California.

The recall is necessary because the product contains wheat and soy lecithin, which are major food allergens, but these ingredients are not declared on the product label. This mislabeling poses a risk of allergic reactions for consumers with wheat or soy allergies.

The affected cookies were distributed online to customers in the following states and territories: AE, AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DE, FL, GA, GU, HI, IL, IN, JK, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, MN, MO, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, TN, TX, UT, VA, WA, WI, WV, and WY. Consumers who purchased these cookies should check their pantry for the product and dispose of it if found.
