Polular cookie placed on the state’s ‘Alert List’
Archway Classic Oatmeal Big Batch Homestyle voluntarily recalled for nuts not listed on the label
Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tommy Irvin alerts consumers today to the ‘voluntary recall’ of more than 500 packages of the 13.75 oz Archway Classic Oatmeal Big Batch Homestyle Cookie. The popular cookie may contain tree nuts and walnuts, not listed on the label but part of the product’s ingredient mixture.
Archway Cookies, Battle Creek, MI says the cookies being recalled have the date code "Best Before Jan 11 07 AX." The cookies were packaged on October 19, 2006.
The Archway Classic Oatmeal Big Batch Homestyle cookies being recalled are primarily distributed to retail stores east of the Mississippi, the company reports.
“This voluntary recall by Archway is primarily directed to those cookie consumers with an allergy to nuts,” Irvin says. “Consumers with a severe sensitivity to walnuts could develop an allergic reaction if they eat these cookies. We urge all Georgians with allergies to nuts to exercise caution.”
Consumers who have purchased the 13.75 oz Archway Classic Oatmeal Big Batch Homestyle Cookies are urged to returned them to their place of purchase for a full refund, Irvin says.
