In a recent announcement, Wegmans, the popular grocery chain, has taken the precautionary measure of initiating a voluntary recall of its Outrageous Oat Cookies due to the potential presence of undeclared wheat. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced this recall last Wednesday, January 10. Find all the details below.
Outrageous Oat Cookies recalled from Wegman's
Wegmans has issued a recall of their Outrageous Oat Cookies, available at the in-store bakeries, due to the inadvertent inclusion of a wheat-containing ingredient, which could be dangerous and even life-threatening for consumers with wheat allergies. Wegmans took immediate action upon discovering this issue to ensure the safety of its customers.
Customers are urged to check their purchases for the following products with any use-by date:
- Outrageous Oat Cookies, 5 pack, UPC: 7789056618
- Outrageous Oat Cookies, sold by the pound, UPC: 2-08165-00000-6
The products in question were sold starting January 3, 2024. The recall affects all Wegmans locations across several states, including D.C., Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
As of now, there have been no reported injuries or illnesses associated with the consumption of these cookies. The FDA assures consumers that the recall is a precautionary measure, and customers who have purchased the affected products are encouraged to return them to Wegmans for a full refund.
Individuals with wheat allergies or severe sensitivity to wheat are particularly at risk. Consuming the affected products may lead to serious or life-threatening allergic reactions. It is crucial for individuals with wheat allergies to be vigilant and check their purchases to avoid any potential health risks.
