“Eban's Bakehouse Cookie Recall: Missing Coconut Allergen Warning.” GovInfoNow, updated October 11, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/24693-eban-s-bakehouse-cookie-recall-missing-coconut-allergen-warning.

Why it’s dangerous

The hazard is that the label fails to declare coconut as an allergen in the "Contains:" statement, even though it is present in the ingredients. For individuals with a coconut allergy, consuming the product could trigger a serious allergic reaction because they may not be aware of the ingredient's presence.

Who’s affected

Consumers who purchased the recalled cookies, particularly those with coconut allergies or sensitivities, are at risk of an allergic reaction. The product was distributed in Ohio.
