According to the latest recall notice issued by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a company called Jimmy's Cookies has recalled a large biscuit cake product sold under the brand Walmart Inc Marketside in Walmart Inc stores across the United States.Unlike many food recalls that often involve contamination or pathogens, this particular problem revolves around a serious risk of allergies.
The recall was announced on Aug. 12, and Jimmy's Cookies LLC pointed out that the Marketside chocolate candy cookies may contain peanuts, but there is no statement on the package. This is a major health risk for consumers with peanut allergies, which are usually severe and can be fatal in some cases.
The recall involves products with batch number 1133, which are sold through Walmart Inc in about 20 states, including Texas, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina, Kansas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma and other places.
Customers who think they may have purchased the recalled cookie cakes can check the identification details listed in the recall notice, including the UPC code "0074736651210" and batch number 1133. A complete list of affected states and identification details can be found on the FDA website.
It is not clear how peanuts became an unlisted ingredient in cookies, and the recall only explained that the investigation showed "a temporary failure in the company's process." Consumers who have bought these products can return them to Walmart Inc for a refund.
