Italian Sesame Cookies

Gina Marie Bakery LLC recalled Italian Sesame Cookies in a Class II action, the FDA tier for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects on Sep 10, 2025.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Undeclared Sesame, Undeclared Yellow 5, Red 40, Yellow 6" 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 "Firm notified FDA of recall initiated by state of CT on 09/10/25. A copy of CT press release was requested for posting by FDA. Firm notified customers on 09/11/25." Single-area recalls still warrant a kitchen check for anyone who shops within that footprint. The recalling firm is based in Waterbury, CT. The recall covers 172 cases (20 containers per case) [total] of product. As of the latest FDA data pull this recall is still Ongoing, meaning the agency has not yet recorded its completion. The product may remain in circulation, so the kitchen check below is current advice.
