August 30, 2007 (Foodconsumer.org) - The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) issued a warning on August 30 to ask consumers with allergies to walnuts not to eat Bella Cucina Death by Chocolate cookies.
The warning was issued after walnuts were found in the product without declaration on the label.
Walnuts can cause life-threatening allergic reactions in people who are allergic to the nuts.
There have been no reports of illnesses associated with the consumption of the affected product, according to the CFIA.
The affected Bella Cucina Death by Chocolate Cookies are sold in 6 oz (170g) packages bearing UPC 19193 00020 from two Chintz & Company stores, located at 1238-11th Ave SW, Calgary, Alberta, and 950 Homer Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, the Canadian food safety watchdog said in its statement.
