KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Snack manufacturer Hostess has issued a voluntary recall of its Cookies 'n Creme Brownies because it is missing a notice alerting customers to an egg allergen.
"Hostess Brands, LLC has become aware that the 'Contains' statement on Hostess Cookies 'n Creme Brownies does not list 'egg' as an allergen," the company said in a news release Friday. "Although the ingredient list on the packaging identifies 'egg' as an ingredient, the "Contains" statement, which is designed to further alert consumers of allergens in the products, does not include 'egg'."
