Dark Chocolate Dipped Almond Horn Cookie sold by the individual cookie packaged in Self Serve and Plastic clam shell containers PLU 33579

Whole Foods Market recalled Dark Chocolate Dipped Almond Horn Cookie sold by the individual cookie packaged in Self Serve and Plastic clam shell containers PLU 33579 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 Feb 4, 2020.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Undeclared milk" 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 "Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia and Washington D.C." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Austin, TX. The recall covers 109 cookies (total) of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Mar 11, 2020), 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.
