Girl Scout Cookies

It's that time of year again. Girl Scout cookies are everywhere! I wanted to share the manufacturing information I received for these popular cookies. Please share any additional information in the comments section below.

Girl Scout cookies are manufactured by two different companies depending upon your region, ABC Bakers and Little Brownie Bakers. The manufacturer is labeled on the side of the cookie package. You can also determine the manufacturer for some of these cookies by the name of the cookie itself. At ABC Bakers, cookie names include Caramel Delites and Peanut Butter Patties, whereas Little Brownie Bakers refers to these same two cookies as Samoas and Tagalongs.

ABC Bakers are extremely knowledgeable about food allergies having worked with the Food Allergy Research & Resource Program in association with the University of Nebraska as well as partnering with the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN). Information is available on their website or you can call them at 1-800-221-1002.

Information for Little Brownie Bakers can also be found on their website. Be advised that all products from this manufacturer contain, milk, wheat and soy.

  2. There is NO reason cookies need to have soy in them. I understand that cookies are often made with wheat, or even peanuts, but SOY? Seriously, there is no reason for it to be in cookies in the first place. And I know I'd love to find one brand without it.
