Little Brownie Baker, one of the two companies that produces Girl Scout Cookies, issued a recall of Lemon Chalet Crème Cookies on February 26, 2010. No other varieties of cookies are included in the recall. The company had received multiple complaints from consumers reporting that the cookies had a bad taste and smell.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/26/girl-scout-cookie-recall_n_478395.html

The bakery reports that they have conducted tests on the cookies and have found no bacteria in the recalled cookies. They state that the smell and taste are being caused by a break down of oils that were used in the cookie. On their website, the bakery reports that this recall is not a food safety issue, but a food quality issue and that the cookies are not up to the companies normal high standards.http://www.littlebrowniebakers.com/cookies/news_lcc.html
