Food Recall Check
Class I · High risk Terminated Initiated Mar 17, 2015 (12 years ago)

All varieties and packaging configurations of iced cut out cookies recall

Recalled by Giant Eagle, Inc. · Pittsburgh, PA, United States

Class I — High risk. Reasonable probability of serious harm or death.

Why it was recalled

Cut Out Cookies sold in Giant Eagle Bakeries were recalled due to an undeclared milk allergen detected after receiving a consumer complaint of an allergic reaction.

Undeclared allergen: Milk

For someone with a food allergy the label is the only protection. An undeclared allergen can trigger a severe reaction even in a trace amount, which is why most of these recalls are Class I. All undeclared allergens recalls.

What was recalled

All varieties and packaging configurations of iced cut out cookies, labeled as Decorated Cut Out Cookie and Cut Out Cookies, 1oz and 2oz sold individually behind the bakery department service counter, and also pre-packaged in 2 counts (5oz), 10 counts (15oz), inside clear plastic containers, "processed on shared equipment" statement on label.

Food: Bread & bakery

FDA's distribution note: PA, MD, OH, WV

Do not eat it. Class I means FDA judged there is a reasonable probability of serious illness or death. If the brand, size and lot or date code on your package match, throw the product away or return it to the store for a refund, and clean any surface or container it touched. If anyone has eaten it and feels unwell, contact a doctor and mention the recall. The risk from an undeclared allergen is to people allergic to milk; for anyone else the product is generally not a safety concern. FDA lists this recall as terminated: the company has finished removing the product, so it should no longer be on shelves - but it can still be in a freezer or pantry.
