Product description

Name: Trader Joe s Chocolate Chip Cookies SKU 68075 Net Weight: 12 oz. (340g) Number of units per package: 16 cookies Package type: Kraft paper bag

Reason for recall

Food & Beverage Inc., dba Chris's Cookies has initiated a recall of Trader Joe s Peanut Butter Sutter s Formula Cookies (Trader Joes SKU 93307) that was packed in a Trader Joes branded Chocolate Chip Cookie bag, and sent out as Chocolate Chip Cookies. Please note the Chocolate Chip Cookie bag has a statement on the back that says: MAY CONTAIN TRACES OF PEANUTS AND TREE NUTS , but since the wrong product packed is based almost completely in peanut this could represent a bigger risk for those who have peanuts allergies. Thus, prompting the firm to error on the side of public safety and initiate a recall.
