“Melvas Ho Cookies Maribel,” which were sold at CTown Supermarkets and other small specialty stores in Connecticut, have been voluntarily recalled.  

The Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection Food, Standards and Product Safety Division said Pan La Paz LLC issued a recall for the cookies because they contain coconut, an allergen that can cause serious illness for people who are allergic.

That was not on the label, according to the Department of Consumer Protection Food, Standards and Product Safety Division.
