In January, Stew Leonard's issued a recall of a cookie that may be connected to the death of a New York resident who ate them at a gathering in Connecticut, according to state and store officials.

In a statement, Stew Leonard's said the store, in partnership with the Food and Drug Administration, was recalling "vanilla Florentine cookies" sold only at the chain's stores in Danbury and Newington from Nov. 6 to Dec. 31, 2023.

According to Stew Leonard's, the cookies contain peanuts, an ingredient that was not disclosed to Stew Leonard's by the manufacturer. The cookies were produced by Cookies United in Islip, but sold under the Stew Leonard's brand name.

Cookies United, in a statement obtained by Patch, said they notified Stew Leonard's in July, 2023 that the product now contains peanut and all products shipped to them were labeled according.
