Eggs by [Laura Stampler](https://time.com/author/laura-stampler/) ## Laura Stampler Mar 30, 2015 3:13 PM UTC  by [Laura Stampler](https://time.com/author/laura-stampler/) ## Laura Stampler Mar 30, 2015 3:13 PM UTC Well here’s an ironic food recall for you. Silver Lake issued a [voluntary recall](http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm440305.htm) Friday for Easter Egg Cookies because they contained eggs. The company hadn’t declared the ingredient in the “nutrition facts” section of its label. According to the FDA release, “People who have an allergy or a severe sensitivity to eggs run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these cookies. The cookies are safe for consumption by those who do not have egg allergies.” No illnesses have been reported yet. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3763360/easter-egg-cookie-ironic-recall/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3763360/easter-egg-cookie-ironic-recall/"},"headline":"Easter Egg Cookies Recalled For Containing ...
