If you bought a Nestle Chocolate Chip Chip Cookie Dough Bar from your favorite New Jersey supermarket in the past few days, you might want to pay close attention. Nestle has reported some of the packages have wood splinters in them, which could cause serious injury if swallowed.
Nestlé is voluntarily recalling a limited quantity of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough “break and bake” Bar (16.5 oz) products. This action is being taken due to the potential presence of wood fragments in two specific batches produced on April 24 and 25, 2023.
The recalled product details are as follows:
- Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bar (16.5 oz)
- Batch Numbers: 311457531K and 311557534K
- Corresponding Best By Dates: 8/22/23 and 10/23/23
This recall is isolated to the mentioned batches and does not involve any other products, including other varieties of refrigerated cookie dough in “break and bake” bars, rolls, or tubs, or edible cookie dough.
The recall was prompted after a small number of consumers contacted Nestlé about the issue. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the company has decided to proceed with this recall out of an abundance of caution.
Consumers who have purchased the affected product with the specific batch codes should not prepare or consume the product. They should return it to the retailer where it was purchased for a replacement or refund. For further support or information, please contact Nestlé at (800) 681-1678 Monday-Friday from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. EST.
Nestlé is working closely with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) on this voluntary recall and will cooperate fully with their investigation. The company has stated that they are confident this is an isolated issue and have already taken actions to address it.
In a statement, Nestlé emphasized, “The quality, safety, and integrity of our products remain our number one priority. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this action represents to both our consumers and retail customers.”
This recall serves as a reminder to consumers to check their pantries and refrigerators for this specific product and act accordingly. Nestlé’s prompt response demonstrates their commitment to consumer safety and upholding the quality standards that they are known for.
