Giant Eagle Cookies Recalled for Undeclared Soy Allergen
Giant Eagle is recalling Lotsa Chocolate Chip Cookies because the labels fail to declare soy lecithin, a major allergen present in the product.
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 the mislabeling of a common allergen (soy), which corresponds to the 'High' severity criterion in the rubric for allergen mislabeling on common allergens.
Plain-English summary
Giant Eagle is recalling 170 cases of Lotsa Chocolate Chip Cookies. The recall was initiated because the product labels do not accurately state the ingredients, nutrition facts, or allergens. Specifically, an incorrect label was placed on the product that fails to declare soy lecithin, even though the actual product contains this ingredient.
The affected products are identified by lot numbers 073013 and 072313. These items were distributed to Giant Eagle stores in Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.
Consumers who purchased these specific lots should stop using the product and return it to the place of purchase for a refund or dispose of it. Individuals with a soy allergy should be particularly cautious, as the undeclared allergen poses a risk of an allergic reaction.
