Kansas City, MO — Hostess Brands LLC is issuing a voluntary recall of Hostess Cookies ‘n Crème Brownies after becoming aware of confusion regarding the “contains” statement on its packaging.
The statement does not list “egg” as an allergen, according to Hostess. While the ingredient list does identify egg as an ingredient, the “contains” statement — which is designed to further alert consumers of allergens in the products — does not.
As a result and out of an abundance of caution, Hostess Brands is voluntarily recalling the following Cookies ‘n Crème Brownies:
