Bakery Oatmeal Raisin Cookies packaged in clear plastic clamshell container, 12-count, 18-count, and 20-count

Southeastern Grocers LLC recalled Bakery Oatmeal Raisin Cookies packaged in clear plastic clamshell container, 12-count, 18-count, and 20-count in a Class I action — the FDA's most serious tier, reserved for products with a reasonable probability of causing serious health consequences or death on Oct 28, 2015.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Undeclared walnuts" Allergen mislabeling is the leading cause of U.S. food recalls, because a missing declaration can trigger a reaction in someone who reads the label and believes the product is safe.

The product reached multiple states, recorded by the FDA as "The affected Harveys stores (56 stores) are located in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. The affected Winn-Dixie Stores (85 stores) are located in Florida and Georgia." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Jacksonville, FL. The recall covers 21,600 Baked Oatmeal Rasin Cookies of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Feb 10, 2016), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved. The historical record remains useful for tracking a brand's recall pattern over time.
