The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class I

Class I is a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

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 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classified this recall as Class I — a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. On that classification alone this is scored Severe; a score of Critical is reserved for recalls where a death or serious injury was reported. The agency gives the reason as: "Butter Creek Farms, Inc is recalling Nutty Cow Chip Cookies due to undeclared Walnut, Egg, Wheat, Soy, and Milk (butter was listed). The firm sold single product or combined this product with other products in gift boxes from the website…"

Plain-English summary

Butter Creek Farms, Inc. is voluntarily recalling Nutty Cow Chip Cookies because the product contains undeclared walnut, egg, wheat, soy, and milk. Although butter was listed on the label, the presence of these major allergens was not disclosed.

The affected cookies were sold as single products or combined with other items in gift boxes. Distribution was limited to internet customers via the website cowchipcookies.com and two retail stores owned by the recalling firm in Washington.

Consumers who purchased these products should stop using them and dispose of them or return them to the place of purchase. Individuals with allergies to walnut, egg, wheat, soy, or milk should be particularly cautious.
