“La Torre Marshmallow Chocolate Cookies Recall: Milk Not Listed on Label.” GovInfoNow, updated October 9, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/23724-la-torre-marshmallow-chocolate-cookies-recall-milk-not-listed-on.

Why it’s dangerous

Calcium caseinate is a milk derivative used in the cookie. The label lists calcium caseinate but does not list milk, which could confuse consumers with milk allergies.

People who have eaten or own the recalled cookies are at risk if they have milk allergies. Those with milk allergies should be cautious.
