Summary

Avalanche Distributing, LLC is recalling 1,700 individual Valanga Gourmet brand Snickerdoodle Cookies (4.4 oz) because the label fails to declare milk as an allergen.

These cookies were distributed in Oregon and Washington and have a shelf life of up to 6 months if frozen or 2 months if refrigerated. Consumers who purchased these cookies should return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk
