Hershberger’s Bake Shop
Issues a Voluntary Recall
Danville, Ohio (Oct. 5, 2017)- Hershberger’s Bake Shop in Danville, Ohio is
voluntarily recalling its Hershberger’s Sugar Cookies due to an undeclared milk
allergen. Cookies were sold in a clear, 10-cookie hinged container; 14 oz.
size. This recall has been initiated due to the ingredient label not declaring
milk as an allergen.
Products were available for sale at retail locations in Mansfield, Mt. Vernon,
Danville, Utica and Howard, OH. An Ohio Department of Agriculture inspector
discovered the mislabeling issue during a routine visit. There have been no
reports of illness involving products addressed in this recall; however, people
who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of a serious or
life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product. Individuals
exhibiting signs or symptoms of food borne illness or allergies should contact
a physician immediately.
Customers with a milk allergy or sensitivity who have purchased the affected
product should dispose of it or return it to the place of purchase for a
replacement. Consumers with questions regarding this recall can contact Ervin
Hershberger, Hershberger’s Bake Shop, at 740-599-9913 ext. 4.
