LOUISVILLE, Ky. — They promise to entice the senses with a “hint of cinnamon-ginger spice” and a “refreshingly zesty lemon creme filling,” but some batches of Lemon Chalet Creme Girl Scout cookies didn’t quite turn out that way.
A Kentucky bakery that makes the cookies pulled some batches Thursday after about a dozen people complained of a foul smell and taste. Little Brownie Bakers in Louisville said Friday that no one has gotten sick from the stinky, bad-tasting cookies sold in 24 states, including Colorado, and they are safe to eat.
The problem is caused by a breakdown of oils in the cookies, the bakery said on its website. Customers who have purchased affected cookies can call their local Girl Scout council or 800-962-1718. A message at that number said customers may receive a coupon for “a Keebler free product refund.” The Associated Press
