Firm Press Release

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Southeastern Grocers today announced an immediate recall of 12-count, 18-count, and 20-count Bakery Oatmeal Raisin Cookies and Bakery Variety Pack Cookies, along with 36-count and 48-count Bakery Cookie Platters in all Harveys and select Winn-Dixie stores in Florida and Georgia.

According to the supplier of the oatmeal raisin cookie dough, the reason for the recall is that the product is mislabeled. The product contains walnuts, an allergen, which is undeclared on the packaging label. Out of an abundance of caution, consumers who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to walnuts are urged not to consume the products and return them to the stores for a full refund. To receive the refund, customers may present proof of purchase through a receipt or the product-packaging label.

The products have a sell-by date of Oct. 28, 2015 through Nov. 11, 2015 with UPC codes of 00207995000002, 00267987000007, 00209699000005, 00209700000000, 00267982000002, 00209701000009, 00269736000009 and 0020755000003. To our knowledge, Harveys and Winn-Dixie stores have received no reports of any issues associated with consumption of this product at this time.

For the safety of customers, Harveys and Winn-Dixie are immediately removing the 12-count, 18-count, and 20-count Bakery Oatmeal Raisin Cookies and Bakery Variety Pack Cookies, along with the 36-count and 48-count Bakery Cookie Platters from the bakery departments of all Harveys stores throughout Florida, Georgia and South Carolina, along with Winn-Dixie stores throughout Florida and Georgia in the following counties:
