Whole Foods Market is recalling select bundt cakes and chocolate-dipped cookies at 44 stores in Ohio and elsewhere because the products contain undeclared milk, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday.

The affected products were sold at Whole Foods Market stores at the Washington Twp. store on Miamisburg Centerville Road and elsewhere in the region, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington D.C.

The bundt cakes and cookies were available in the bakery department and sold in clear plastic packaging with Whole Foods Market scale labels, FDA officials said in a prepared statement.
