Jalux Americas Inc., dba J.sweets, of El Segundo, CA, is recalling L’espoir Brand L’espoir cookies and L’espoir Brand Drycapot cookies, because they may contain the following undeclared allergens: in L’espoir – undeclared milk; and in Drycapot – undeclared tree nuts. 

People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk and/or tree nuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products. The products were imported from Japan.
