Kusher LLC Recalls Cookies Prince for Undeclared Milk Allergen

Kusher LLC is recalling Cookies Prince packages because the label fails to declare milk, a major allergen present in the product as butter.

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: "The Ingredients statement declared wheat, and egg but the Contains statement declared only wheat. Product contains butter but label does not declare milk."

Plain-English summary

Kusher LLC is voluntarily recalling 783 packages of Cookies Prince, a 454g (16 OZ) product packaged in plastic clamshells. The recall is due to a labeling error where the product contains butter, which includes milk, but the label does not declare milk as an allergen.

The product's ingredient statement lists wheat and eggs, and the 'Contains' statement lists only wheat. However, the source text notes that the product contains butter but the label does not declare milk. This omission poses a risk to consumers with milk allergies.

The affected packages have a 'Best before' date ranging from February 1, 2017, to August 10, 2017. The product was distributed in California, Oregon, and Washington. Consumers with milk allergies should avoid consuming the product and should check their pantries for these specific packages.
