The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "The Black & White Mini Cookies contain undeclared milk. The product also contains soy lecithin, but the labeling only lists lecithin in the ingredient statement."

A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Bronx, NY. The recall covers 18,720 cases (equals 224,640 retail 2- packs) of product.
