Stop & Shop Updates Cookie Tray Recall

2 Pound Cookie Trays Recalled Due to Undeclared Ingredients

QUINCY, Mass., Nov. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- On November 21, 2007 The Stop &
Shop Supermarket Company announced a recall of Stop & Shop 2-pound cookie
trays produced by Luigi's Bakery and sold in Stop & Shop stores in Connecticut
and New York. The cookies were recalled because the label did not list as
ingredients artificial colors including FD&C Yellow #5, which can cause an
allergic reaction in some individuals. Upon investigation by regulatory
agencies, the cookies were found to contain milk and sulfur dioxide, both of
which were not listed on the label and can cause an allergic reaction in
sensitive individuals.
The cookies were packaged on a plastic plate with cellophane over wrap and
a Luigi's Bakery Sticker affixed to them. They have a UPC code of
20549910000.
