BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A Montana cookie company is voluntarily recalling about 500 cookies packaged with labels that did not note they contained a possible allergen, the Food and Drug Administration said.
The cookies, made by Billings-based Montana Moon Inc., were shipped nationwide under the label "Mocha Java Jump" over the past month. The listed ingredients did not mention that white chocolate chips in the cookies were made with nonfat dry milk, said Sue Hutchcroft, a spokeswoman for the FDA in Bothell, Wash.
Lisa Kopanski-Wittpenn, a co-owner of the company, said she sought the recall for fear someone allergic to nonfat dry milk could suffer a "serious or life-threatening" reaction.
However, she said there were no reports of any health problems associated with the cookies.
Kopanski-Wittpenn said it was not clear in which states the 4-ounce packages were sold. The cookies all were packaged in clear wrapping with the company's Montana Moon logo and contained the product code 7-01899-01221-0.
Retailers who purchased the cookies were being tracked so any not yet sold could be removed from store shelves, Kopanski-Wittpenn said. Consumers were being urged to return any uneaten cookies for a refund.
