The Cookies Cottage (Brand) Crispy Taro Cookies (Toasted Vegetarian Yam Biscuits), 180g. Packaged in 24packets per carton.

U-Can Food Trading INC recalled The Cookies Cottage (Brand) Crispy Taro Cookies (Toasted Vegetarian Yam Biscuits), 180g. in a Class II action, the FDA tier for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects on Jun 5, 2014.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "U-Can Food Trading, Inc. initiated a voluntary recall of The Cookies Cottage brand, Crispy Taro Cookies (Toasted Vegetarian Yam Biscuits) due to undeclared FD&C Blue #1, Yellow #5, and Carmoisine, a dye not permitted for use." 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.

Distribution was limited; the FDA record lists "US." Single-area recalls still warrant a kitchen check for anyone who shops within that footprint. The recalling firm is based in Los Angeles, CA. The recall covers 82 cartons of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Jul 16, 2014), 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.
