J&M Foods is voluntarily recalling certain bags of Favorite Day-branded lavender shortbread cookies in the wake of a packaging mix-up, which resulted in the correct allergens not being disclosed. The 7-ounce packages of cookies were distributed at Target stores nationwide.
Instead of being filled with shortbread cookies, a select number of containers were mistakenly packed with chocolate chip cookies, according to an announcement posted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Because the packaging for the shortbread cookies doesn't specify the presence of either eggs or soy, this could pose a risk to individuals with extreme allergies or severe sensitivities to these food items. If consumed, they run the risk of a potentially "serious allergic reaction."
