The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has issued an allergy alert about cookies sold at furniture stores in Calgary and Vancouver.

Bella Cucina's Death by Chocolate cookies contain walnuts, which are not declared on the label and could be hazardous to anyone with nut allergies.

There have been no reported illnesses associated with the cookies.
