Bakr Brown Butter Chocolate Chunk Ready to Bake Cookie Dough recall: May Contain Undeclared Soy

Recall published 4 months ago

The hazard: Undeclared soy

The product contains soy that the packaging never declared. If nobody in your home avoids soy, there is no health reason to throw it away — though the refund still stands.

What the notice says: People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to soy run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

Why it matters: The label does not declare soy, so anyone who reads labels to avoid it has no way of knowing it is in there. For people without that allergy the product is safe to eat.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

An undeclared allergen is a danger only to people allergic or intolerant to that ingredient. For everyone else the food is safe. Reactions range from an itchy mouth, hives, stomach cramps or vomiting through to anaphylaxis — swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, a tight chest, wheezing, a sudden drop in blood pressure or collapse. If anaphylaxis is suspected, use an epinephrine auto-injector straight away and call 911, even if the symptoms seem to settle, because a second wave can follow hours later.

Brown Butter Chocolate Chunk Ready to Bake Cookie Dough

What the company announced

Bear Stewart LLC of Chicago, IL is voluntarily recalling a single lot of Bakr Brown Butter Chocolate Chunk Ready To Bake Cookie Dough pouches because it may contain undeclared soy. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to soy run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

The recalled Bakr Brown Butter Chocolate Chunk Ready To Bake Cookie Dough was distributed in Southern California, Southern Nevada, Arizona, and Utah through Target retail stores starting on June 11, 2026.

The Bakr Brown Butter Chocolate Chunk Ready To Bake Cookie Dough comes in an 8-ounce blue package and is sold in the frozen section. The recalled product can be identified by lot number 2606022, which can be found on the bottom left corner on the rear side of the pouch.

No illnesses have been reported to date.

The recall was initiated after it was discovered that product containing soy was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of soy. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a temporary issue in Bear Stewart’s packaging processes whereby S’mores cookies were packed into Brown Butter Chocolate Chunk pouches.

Consumers who have purchased Bakr Brown Butter Chocolate Chunk Ready To Bake Cookie Dough with lot number 2606022 are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact Bear Stewart at 1-800-697-BEAR.

What to do about Soy

Bakr — The product contains soy that the packaging never declared. If nobody in your home avoids soy, there is no health reason to throw it away — though the refund still stands.

  1. If anyone in your household avoids soy, stop serving the product immediately and check whether any was used in food already prepared.
  2. Make sure the household epinephrine auto-injector is where it should be and in date, if someone here carries one.
  3. If a reaction has already happened, report it to the FDA through its consumer complaint coordinator so the case is attached to this recall.
  4. Tell anyone else who eats from your kitchen, including childminders, schools and anyone catering an event you contributed to.

Getting a refund without the pack

The commonest reason people skip the refund is that they have already thrown the item away. That rarely matters.

  • A photo of the label and lot code is accepted by most grocers, and so is a card statement line showing the purchase.
  • Store credit is often offered first. You can ask for the original payment method instead, and it is normally granted.
  • No photo either? Ask anyway. Grocery chains settle recall refunds at the service desk because disputing them costs more than paying them.
  • For a multi-pack or a case, ask for the full purchase price rather than a per-unit figure — the recall covers what you paid.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers who have purchased Bakr Brown Butter Chocolate Chunk Ready To Bake Cookie Dough with lot number 2606022 are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
