Melanie Mini Cookies with Caramel Flavor in a 17.6 oz (500g) clear plastic package with UPC 4770049082126.

Desly International Corp. recalled Melanie Mini Cookies with Caramel Flavor in a 17.6 oz (500g) clear plastic package with UPC 4770049082126. 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 May 21, 2018.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Products contain undeclared peanuts." 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 "CA CT FL GA IL KS KY MA MD ME MI MN MO NC NJ NV NY OH PA SC WA." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Brooklyn, NY. The recall covers 50 cases of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Jun 13, 2018), 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.
