Costco Cookies Hazard: Hidden Tree Nuts Spark Recall
10 Apr
Summary
- Costco cookies recalled due to undeclared tree nuts.
- Packages labeled 'Traditional Madeleines' contain hazelnut filling.
- Recall affects products sold between March 30 and April 6.
Costco Wholesale is recalling some of its Traditional Madeleines due to a significant labeling oversight that failed to declare the presence of tree nuts.
The packages in question were sold between March 30 and April 6 at various Costco locations. Although labeled as Traditional Madeleines, these cookies actually contain a chocolate hazelnut filling.
This mislabeling constitutes a violation of U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulations, as the packaging does not list the presence of hazelnuts. Consumers with tree nut allergies could face severe health risks if they consume these products unknowingly.
The affected products include heart-shaped cookies, with some containing raspberry filling and others the undeclared chocolate hazelnut filling.
