April 16, 2009 - Alternative Baking Company, Inc. of Sacramento, California is conducting a nationwide recall of several types of chocolate chip cookies with code dates of 015 through 036 stamped on the fold of the cellophane package in black ink.  The chips appear to contain milk and have caused reactions in a few children who are highly allergic to milk according to phone calls from parents of the affected children.  People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk, run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product. The cookies are wrapped and sold individually in retail stores and on their web site.  Listed in the chart are the cookies with the pertinent information for identifying the recalled cookies ...
