Vanilla Chocolate Dipped Cookies are being recalled because the colour additive Red 40 is not declared on the label. The recall covers 172 cases.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: Scored 2 as an FDA Class III labelling error, which the rubric places at 1 or 2; a missing colour additive declaration with no reported illness sits at the upper end.
