FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Quincy, Massachusetts -- December 11, 2003 -- The Stop & Shop Supermarket Company is recalling its Stop & Shop brand store-packaged 16 oz. assorted party cookies because certain cookies within the assortment may contain undeclared milk products and nuts and these ingredients are not listed on the package label. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk products or nuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product. Due to the labeling error, this product has been withdrawn from sale in all Stop & Shop Supermarkets.
This assorted party cookies product was sold under the Stop & Shop label as a Bake Shop item in Stop & Shop stores in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island. The product is 16 oz. and is packaged in a clear plastic container. Before it was removed from shelves, the product was located in the In-Store Bakery. The UPC code is 002000-043476.
This recall was initiated by Stop & Shop after it discovered today that the labels did not correctly reveal the possible presence of milk products or nuts in this product. No illnesses have been reported to date.
