NEWS RELEASE: Girl Scouts' lemon cookies are safe here

By Chuck Gysi

Go ahead and enjoy Lemonades Girl Scout Cookies being sold by Girl Scouts of Eastern Iowa & Western Illinois. They're totally safe to eat.

The lemon-flavored cookies being sold locally are not affected by reports of returns being requested by another baker of Girl Scout Cookies.

Lemonades are manufactured by ABC Bakers. Cookies of various lot numbers being requested to be returned are made by Little Brownie Bakers, another approved Girl Scout Cookies baker. Little Brownie Bakers' Lemon Chalet Cremes have been affected by an oil rancidity issue, that while renders an issue with the smell of the product, it remains safe to be consumed.

ABC Bakers regularly tests their cookies and have not noticed similar problems nor do they expect similar issues with any of the products that they manufacture for Girl Scouts of Eastern Iowa & Western Illinois. None of the products being produced by ABC Bakers are involved with the recent problems experienced by Little Brownie Bakers.

For more information, call the GSEIWI office at 309.283.2359.
