Goulibeur Shortbread Cookies Recalled for Missing Milk Allergen Labeling
Goulibeur is recalling 250 units of pure butter shortbreads sold in Maryland because the packaging lists butter but fails to identify milk as an allergen source.
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 for milk, a common allergen, which corresponds to the 'High' severity criterion in the rubric.
