Oregon Cannabis Cookie Recall: Milk Allergen Alert

Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission Recalls Cannabis Cookies Due to Undeclared Milk Allergen, Affecting Local Retailers and Consumers

The Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission (OLCC) has issued a recall for cannabis cookies sold under the brand “Lissa’s Fresh Baked Cookie Bites” due to an undeclared milk allergen.

This recall affects Snickerdoodle and Chocolate Chip varieties, posing potential health risks for consumers with dairy allergies. The products were distributed across 37 recreational marijuana retailers in Oregon from November 2023 to March 2025.

Impact on Local Businesses

Local cannabis retailers are now tasked with halting sales of the affected products, which could disrupt operations and impact revenue.

The OLCC is leveraging its Cannabis Tracking System (CTS) to ensure compliance among businesses, emphasizing the importance of adhering to safety regulations.

Ensuring Public Safety

The recall underscores ongoing efforts by the OLCC to maintain public safety through stringent product tracking and regulation.

This initiative aligns with previous measures aimed at ensuring transparency within Oregon’s burgeoning cannabis industry.

What This Means for Residents

• Consumers should destroy any recalled products they have purchased.
• No health-related complaints have been reported yet, but vigilance is advised.
• The OLCC continues investigating how these products reached consumers without proper labeling.

Community Concerns and Responses

While no specific statements from local leaders are available, the OLCC’s proactive approach likely garners support from health advocates focused on consumer safety.

Residents may be concerned about product safety standards; however, the use of CTS helps mitigate risks by identifying affected inventory swiftly.

Purchasers who bought the recalled products should destroy them safely.

Something to Ponder

This recall highlights the critical role of regulatory bodies like the OLCC in safeguarding public health within emerging industries such as cannabis.

As investigations continue, both businesses and consumers must remain vigilant about product labeling to prevent similar issues in the future.
