Hammond’s Salted Caramel Cookies are being voluntarily recalled for undeclared peanuts. This means that anyone who is allergic to peanuts could have a serious or life-threatening reaction if they eat this product. This notice is posted on the FDA’s Enforcement Report page, so no information about possible reactions is available. The recalling firm is Hammond’s Candies Since 1920 of Denver, Colorado.
The problem is that the company’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are packaged in Hammond’s Salted Caramel Cookies boxes. So peanuts are not listed on the ingredient label and there is no allergen statement on the container. The cookies were sold nationwide in these states: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wyoming, and in Washington D.C. and at one location in Canada.
