Plain-English summary

Giant Eagle, Inc. is recalling Raisin Filled Cookies sold over the counter at retail Eagle and affiliate stores. The recall was initiated after it was discovered on March 20, 2015, that the product labels did not declare the milk allergen.

These cookies were sold directly from the bakery counter and packaged at the time of purchase in clamshell plastic or wax paper. The net weight on the label may vary depending on the number of cookies requested by the customer.

The recall affects 4,294 units distributed in Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Consumers who purchased these cookies should check their labels for the missing milk allergen declaration and dispose of the product or return it to the store of purchase.
