Company Announcement

Meijer is announcing a voluntary recall of its Meijer brand Ultimate Chocolate Mint Chip Cookies because soy it is not properly declared on the label. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to soy run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

Approximately 720 packages of cookies were sold between February 13, 2019 and February 20, 2019 in all Meijer stores in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and Wisconsin.

The product is packaged in a clear plastic container with a clamshell seal. This only affects products with the following UPCs sold between February 13, 2019 and February 20, 2019:

  • Ultimate Chocolate Mint Chip Cookies - 12 Count.              UPC: 0-41250-14563-9
  • Ultimate Chocolate Mint Chip Cookies - 20 Count:              UPC: 0-41250-14564-6
