Update: Stew Leonard’s Issues Allergy Alert on Undeclared Peanuts & Eggs in Chocolate &
Vanilla Florentine Cookies

January 25, 2024

Stew Leonard’s, in partnership with the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection, is recalling Vanilla and Chocolate Florentine Cookies that were sold only at Stew Leonard’s in Danbury and Newington, Conn. from November 6 – December 31, 2023. The cookies contain undeclared peanuts and eggs.  People with an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts or eggs run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.  One death has been reported that may be associated with the mislabeled product.

Stew Leonard’s is working with the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection and the supplier to determine the cause of the labeling error.  Customers who have purchased these cookies should bring back the product to Stew Leonard’s customer service for a full refund.
