Cookies recalled due to ‘life-threatening’ allergen

The recalled cookies may contained undeclared almonds. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced on Tuesday (January 21) that D. Coluccio & Sons was recalling its 300-gram packages of “Colussi Cantuccini Chocolate Drops.” The chocolate chip cookies were recalled because they may contain undeclared almonds.
Consumers with allergies to tree nuts have the risk of “serious or life-threatening allergic reactions” if they eat these cookies, the FDA said. According to the organization, the recalled product was distributed through retail stores and mail orders throughout the United States.
The cookies were packaged in a blue bag with the UPC 8002590006020. The lot numbers on the back of the bag are 3540152 BBD 15-01-2025 and L354150 BBD 29-05-2025. The recall was initiated after it “was discovered that the almond-containing product was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of almonds.” A subsequent investigation indicated that this mistake was due to a “temporary breakdown in the company’s production and packaging processes.”.
As of January 23, there have not been any reported illnesses due to the undeclared almonds in the recalled product. Consumers who bought the cookies are urged to return them to the stores they bought them to get a full refund. The recall comes only days after another popular snack was removed from shelves. On January 20, the FDA issued a recall on the curry-flavored Curvee Puffs Corn Puff Snack bags because they “contain undeclared milk.” The recall only applies to the 2.46-ounce bags of the Shirakiku brand snacks.
