The 4-1-1 on Girl Scout Cookies~
Did You Know...?
- All of the girls pictured on the cookie boxes are registered Girl Scouts; every box shows Girl Scouts in action, having fun and growing strong!
- Girl Scout Cookies do not contain preservatives; they are all made with pure vegetable shortening, are all kosher, and all freeze well to extend their shelf life.
- All Girl Scout cookies are now zero trans fat per serving, with the same great taste that has made them one of America's favorite treats over the years. While some zero trans fat varieties of cookies were available in 2005 and 2006, this year ALL varieties contain less than .5 grams trans fat per serving, which meets or exceeds the FDA guidelines for the "zero trans fat" designation.
- The ingredients and nutritional profile of each cookie variety are listed on both the cookie box and the cookie order form, which also lists dietary exchanges so diabetics can make informed choices.
- Girl Scouts of the USA approves and licenses two bakers, Little Brownie Bakers and ABC/Interbake Foods; the bakers employ American labor union members, using American-grown agricultural products and American-made packaging materials.
- Licensed bakers offer up to eight varieties of Girl Scout Cookies every year; only three types are mandatory: Thin Mints, Peanut Butter Sandwich/Do-si-dos™ and Shortbread/Trefoils.
- For more than 80 years, this annual cookie sale has helped Brownie and Junior Girl Scouts and Girl Scouts (ages 11-17) have fun, develop valuable life skills and make the world a better place by helping to support Girl Scouting in their communities.
- Participation in cookie sales is voluntary and requires written permission by a parent or guardian; Daisy Girl Scouts (ages 5-6) do not sell Girl Scout cookies.
