| NO COOKIE QUALITY ISSUES WITH LEMONADES |
| Posted by: eBlast |
| |
There are two bakeries that produce all Girl Scout cookies in the United States. Our council, Girl Scouts of South Carolina - Mountains to Midlands, uses ABC Bakers. ABC Bakers has confirmed that our Lemonades are not affected by recent problems that the other baker, Little Brownie, has experienced with its Lemon Chalet Crèmes.
Our bakery, ABC Bakers, is the oldest and most experienced licensed Girl Scout cookie company. It became the "Official Girl Scout Cookie Bakers" in 1939, just two years after the first sale of commercially-baked Girl Scout cookies took place. ABC is part of Interbake Foods LLC, a Richmond, Virginia-based manufacturer that has been baking cookies and crackers for 100 years.
