Stew Leonard's Holdings LLC was cited for misbranding its Florentine Cookies, which contained undeclared major food allergens (peanuts and eggs) that were not listed on the product label in violation of section 403(w) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The inspection of the Danbury, Connecticut facility from January to February 2024 revealed that the finished product labels failed to include required allergen declarations despite the cookies being manufactured with these ingredients. This violation occurred in the context of a consumer complaint received by the FDA regarding an anaphylactic death associated with the product, which prompted the company to recall the cookies on January 23, 2024.
