Chocolate & the Chip Gluten-Free Cookie Cake Recalled for Undeclared Tree Nuts

Chocolate & the Chip is recalling its gluten-free cookie cake due to undeclared tree nuts (hazelnuts and almonds) found on the packaging labels. The product was distributed nationwide and poses a risk to consumers with tree nut allergies.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves undeclared tree nuts (hazelnuts and almonds), which are common allergens. Although the source text does not explicitly report any illnesses or injuries, undeclared allergen mislabeling on common allergens meets the High severity threshold per the rubric, and the FDA classified this as a Class II recall.

Plain-English summary

Chocolate & the Chip is recalling its Gluten Free Cookie Cake (1 LB 1.4 oz / 494 grams), packaged in a brown bakery box. An inspection by the California Department of Public Health found that the product labels failed to declare tree nut allergens (hazelnuts and almonds), even though the firm had listed some ingredients on the packaging. The missing allergen declarations created a hazard for consumers with tree nut allergies.

A total of 3,000 units were manufactured between July 1, 2021 and September 30, 2021, and distributed nationwide. Consumers who have purchased this product and have a tree nut allergy should not consume it and should dispose of it safely or return it to the point of purchase.

No illnesses or injuries have been reported in connection with this recall. Consumers with questions may contact Chocolate & the Chip directly.
