Kusher LLC Recalls Shishka Cookies Due to Allergen Labeling Error

Kusher LLC is recalling Shishka Cookies because the packaging failed to list egg and milk in the 'Contains' statement, despite listing them in the ingredients.

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 common allergens (egg and milk), which meets the criteria for a High severity score under the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Kusher LLC is voluntarily recalling 950 packages of Shishka Cookies. The product is packaged in plastic clamshells with a net weight of 454g (16 OZ) and carries the UPC 8 51929 00362 3. The recall is limited to packages with best-before dates ranging from February 1, 2017, through August 10, 2017.

The recall was initiated due to a labeling error. While the ingredients statement correctly declared wheat, egg, and milk, the 'Contains' statement on the label declared only wheat. This omission means that consumers with allergies to egg or milk may not be aware of these allergens in the product.

The affected products were distributed in California, Oregon, and Washington. Consumers who purchased these cookies should check their labels for the specific UPC and best-before dates. If the product matches the description, consumers should stop using it and contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
