These cookies would have been available for purchase from November 15, 2025, through December 9, 2025, at all Lunds & Byerlys stores throughout the Twin Cities and St. Cloud.  They were evidently labeled as a Tex-Mex Turkey wrap..well at least the back label?  "This is the UPC for our Tex-Mex Turkey Wrap and was inadvertently applied to Monster Cookies sold from November 15, 2025 – December 9, 2025"

NC Firm Recalls Soup Product After Labeling Mix-up Results in Undeclared Milk Issue

Bakkavor USA of Charlotte, North Carolina, is initiating a recall of 16-ounce Meal Simple brand Red Lentil Dal Soup, BEST BY 1/11/2026 as it contains undeclared milk.   The recall was initiated after a consumer notified the firm that the product in the container labeled as Meal Simple Red Lentil Dal Soup was a poultry and rice soup. After an internal investigation it was discovered that Meal Simple Turkey & Wild Rice Soup contains milk as an ingredient. The Meal Simple Red Lentil Dal Soup does not include milk as an ingredient, nor does it declare milk on the label. The root cause investigation is ongoing.

This is where an Allergen Preventive Control for labeling are so important.   With this, checks would be used to ensure that the formulation of the product batched for filling matches the labels on the containers.
