"Iron Kettle brand Ginger Molasses Cookie Dough has been recalled from the marketplace after it was discovered that the product contains egg that is not declared on the label, posing a potential health risk to consumers with egg allergies or sensitivities.
The recall affects all packages of the product where egg is not listed as an ingredient. The cookie dough is sold in 1 kg packages and does not carry a UPC code. Distribution of the affected product has been confirmed in Ontario.
Food allergens such as egg can cause serious and, in some cases, life-threatening allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Because the presence of egg is not declared on the label, consumers may unknowingly be exposed to the allergen.
