Rite Aid recalls 12 ounce tins of Rich Fields Butter Cookies

Published on Sunday, October 30, 2011

Rite Aid has initiated a voluntary chainwide recall of approximately 85,000 tins of butter cookies distributed by Rite Aid under the Rich Fields brand name because of the possibility of contamination with Bacillus cereus.  This microorganism may cause diarrhea, nausea and/or vomiting; however, the possibility of serious adverse health consequences is remote.  
This recall affects only 12 ounce tins featuring either a decorative castle or Christmas designs and sold exclusively in Rite Aid stores.  Affected products can be identified by the UPC codes 01249596519 and 88411804619 located directly beneath the bar code on the bottom of each tin.  No other Rich Fields or Rite Aid brand products are affected by this voluntary recall.
The recall was initiated after the company conducted quality testing on the affected product because of an uncharacteristic odor. Customers should not eat the cookies and can return them to any Rite Aid store for a full refund. Information regarding the recall is available online at www.RiteAid.com or by calling 1-800-RITE-AID Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Rite Aid also is contacting customers who purchased the affected products using their wellness+ loyalty card in order to inform them of the recall.
