Plain-English summary

Italian Sesame Cookies are being recalled for undeclared sesame and for undeclared Yellow 5, Red 40 and Yellow 6.

The recall covers 172 cases, at 20 containers per case, carrying UPC 757808003169. The recall was initiated by the state of Connecticut, which notified the FDA on 10 September 2025; the firm notified its customers the following day. The FDA has classified the recall as Class II.

Sesame is a major allergen that must be declared on the label. People with an allergy or sensitivity to sesame risk a serious reaction if they eat the product, and those who avoid the listed colour additives cannot identify them from the label either.

Anyone holding the product should check the UPC and not eat it.
