Kellogg announces cookie recall, citing possible peanut contamination

By Ed Adamczyk

BATTLE CREEK, Mich., June 15 (UPI) -- Kellogg announced a recall of cookies and snacks distributed to stores in the United States and Puerto Rico because of the possibility they may contain peanut residue.

The company said customers with peanut allergies should avoid the voluntarily recalled products, although it noted the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said the amount of the peanut exposure is low.
