The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the incorrect rear label was applied to the container by the jug manufacturer and the presence of the milk and eggs was not declared.

The correct label has UPC 8523981769 with the description "Animal Cookies – White Fudge;" the incorrect label has UPC 8523908259 with the description "Alphabet & Number Crackers – Chocolate."

Consumers who have purchased the recalled product are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
