Girl Scout cookie recall
Font size:
Little Brownie Bakers issued a statement on Feb 25 saying that it was asking Girl Scout Councils that received the lots of cookies that smell and taste abnormally return the products to the manufacturer.
This is not a real girl scout cookies recall. The statement does not even use the word recall. The company said that the Girl Scout Cookies do not pose any health risk. It recalled some lots of products because they received complaints from consumers about an off-taste and smell from certain packages of Lemon Chalet Creme cookies.
The affected cookies bear the following lot numbers:
7455881 7455882 7455883
7456741 7456742 7456743
7457661 7457662 7457663
7458521 7458522 7458523
7459401 7459402 7459403
Little Brownie Bakers said no other Girl Scout Cookies are subject to the recall.
No illness was found associated with eating recalled cookies. The company said the problem might be due to some breakdown of oils, which it said should pose no health risk. The cookies are still safe for consumers to eat.
According to the website of the cookie maker, Girl Scout cookies for 2009 to 2010 cookie season include Lemon Chalet Cremes (TM), Trefoils, Do-Si-dos (R), Samoas (R), Dulce de Leche, Thank U Berry Munch (TM), Tagalongs (R), and Thin Mints.
Consumers who want to avoid trans fat should read the nutrition label to see if any trans fat commonly known as partially hydrogenated vegetable oil is present in the cookies he is going to eat. According to girlscoutcookies.org, samoas and tagalongs contain partially hydrogenated palm/kernel oil.
