The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (coconut), which corresponds to a severity score of 3 (High) according to the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Pinks Bakery Seattle, Inc. is recalling Marsee Baking brand Hippie Cookies due to a labeling error. The product is available in two formats: six 3.2oz cookies individually wrapped in plastic (Grab and Go) or six unwrapped, bulk packed on baking paper in a paperboard box (Fresh Case). The ingredient statement lists coconut, but the 'Contains' statement does not declare it as an allergen.

The recall involves 32 boxes containing a total of 192 cookies. The affected products were distributed in Oregon and Washington. Specific lot codes for the Grab and Go format range from W-HC47 through WHC53, while the Fresh Case format codes range from HC47 through HC53.

Consumers with these products should stop using them and contact the manufacturer for further instructions. Individuals with a coconut allergy should be particularly cautious, as the allergen is present in the product but not explicitly identified in the allergen declaration section of the label.
