Troemner Roemner Farm, a small regenerative farm located in Atlantic Mine in Michigan’s Western Upper Peninsula, has announced a voluntary recall of its Pfeffernusse cookies in Michigan. The brand is known for fresh produce, sourdough bread, jams, syrups, and other handcrafted products that are evidence of careful attention and the unique character of their region.

Why is Troemner Farm Recalling Pfeffernusse Cookies

Troemner Farm, started and run by Claire and Matthew Troemner, is based on the idea of sustainable agriculture and quality produce. Scientific and engineering expertise is utilized in every part of the operation to enhance the health of the soil, produce robust crops, and develop artisanal foods.

The cookies were sold under the brand name Troemner Family Farm, and a possible allergen issue has prompted the recall.

On December 22, 2025, the company announced a recall of its Troemner Family Farm Pfeffernusse cookies. A routine inspection led to the discovery of missing labels due to human error, which led to the distribution of cookies with undeclared milk, wheat, and soy.

Identification Details of the Recalled Cookies

The recalled Pfeffernusse Cookies were distributed to retail stores in Hancock and Calumet, Michigan. The 6-oz and 12-oz packs of these cookies are affected by the recall, and the rest of the products by the brand are safe to consume. Fortunately, no cases of allergic reactions have been reported to date.

Symptoms of Milk, Wheat, and Soy Allergy

Individuals with allergies to milk, wheat, or soy may experience symptoms ranging from mild to severe. These can include itching, swelling, gastrointestinal discomfort, respiratory issues, or anaphylaxis. Consumers experiencing adverse reactions after consuming the product should seek medical attention.

As the company identified the labeling issue in cookies, an allergy alert was issued. Individuals who are sensitive to any of the three mentioned allergens are urged not to consume the product under any circumstances.

What’s Next for Consumers

Consumers who have the affected Pfeffernusse Cookies on the shelf are encouraged to return them for a full refund or replacement. For questions, one can contact the company at 312-497-1361.

Troemner Roemner Farm’s recall highlights the importance of accurate allergen labeling in food products.
