Thin Crisps Baked Chocolate Chip Snacks, made with milk, which is not declared on the outside box. The bags inside the box are properly labeled Nabisco 100 Calorie Packs Chips Ahoy! Thin Crisps and milk is clearly listed as an ingredient on the individual bag.

The recalled product has been distributed to retail stores nationwide in the United States.
The 4.86 oz. boxes are labeled Nabisco 100 Calorie Packs Oreo Thin Crisps baked chocolate wafer snacks, but the individual bags and product inside those may contain Nabisco 100 Calorie Packs Chips Ahoy! Thin Crisps. The "Best When Used By" date of 04DEC05BD is printed on the top flap of the box.

The company learned of the error when consumers in Florida and North Carolina reported finding Nabisco 100 Calorie Packs Chips Ahoy! Thin Crisps bags in Nabisco 100 Calorie Packs Oreo Thin Crisps boxes. The Nabisco 100 Calorie Packs Oreo Thin Crisps do not contain any milk, but the Nabisco 100 Calorie Packs Chips Ahoy! Thin Crisps do contain milk. The individual bags of Nabisco 100 Calorie Packs Chips Ahoy! Thin Crisps are labeled properly.
