Company Announcement
Atwater’s of Baltimore, MD, is recalling 197 cookie tins because they contain cookies made with almond, pecan, and walnut allergens. Individuals with an allergy or severe sensitivity to tree nuts, almonds, pecans, or walnuts are at risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume these products.
The product was distributed from 12/13/2025 through 12/22/2025 in Baltimore, Towson, and Catonsville, MD, and it reached consumers through retail stores and was gifted to three wholesalers.
The product comes in a circular metal tin, with a bow tied around it, and an identifying “Atwater’s cookie tin” label on the bottom of the package.
No illnesses have been reported to date.
The recall was voluntarily initiated after it was discovered that the product containing almonds, pecans, and walnuts was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of the nut allergen. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in the company's labeling process.
Consumers who have purchased cookie tins are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 410-644-3435.
