The Food and Drug Administration announced that a recall of cookie products has been upgraded to the most serious risk category due to the possible presence of undeclared peanuts.
Gregory’s Foods first issued a recall of its 2-pound, 8.5-ounce packages of “Bag Full of Cookies” White Chocolate Macadamia Nut frozen cookie dough last month after learning that some packages were accidentally filled with Monster Cookie Dough, which contains peanuts.
“People who are allergic to peanuts are at risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products,” the FDA said in its announcement at the time.

The FDA then announced Wednesday that the recall has been reclassified as Class I, the highest level of concern. A Class I recall means that there is a ‘reasonable probability that use or exposure to [the] product will cause serious adverse health effects or death.”
The recall covers more than 300 cases, involving at least six bags. The affected products have an expiration date of December 6, 2026.

“Viewable through the clear window in the bag, the Monster Cookies frozen dough has visible chocolate chips and colored candy pieces, while the White Chocolate Macadamia Nut frozen cookie dough does not,” the FDA said in December.
The cookie products were sold in grocery stores in Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota and Wisconsin.
