FDA Issues Top Warning for Undeclared Allergens in Cookies
7 Jan
Summary
- Cookies recalled due to undeclared peanuts, egg, and soy allergens.
- FDA issued a Class I, highest-risk warning for the affected cookies.
- No illnesses reported, but refunds offered at Lunds & Byerlys stores.
Lunds & Byerlys has initiated a voluntary recall of its L&B Monster Cookies due to a critical labeling oversight. Undeclared allergens, including peanuts, egg, and soy, were omitted from the ingredient list, posing a significant health risk. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified this recall as Class I, signifying the highest level of risk.
The affected cookies were available for purchase between November 15 and December 9, 2025, across all Lunds & Byerlys stores in the Twin Cities and St. Cloud, Minnesota. A total of 108 cases, or 1,296 units, are impacted by this recall. The company identified that an incorrect ingredient label, meant for a different product, was affixed to the Monster Cookie packages.
While no illnesses have been reported to date, the FDA's Class I designation underscores the potential for severe or life-threatening reactions in individuals with allergies to peanuts, egg, or soy. Consumers who purchased these cookies are strongly encouraged to return them to any Lunds & Byerlys location for a full refund without requiring a receipt.
