If you’re looking for the best chocolate-chip cookie to help conclude your summer barbecue, listen up! The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued an alert last week, alerting consumers to the potential presence of foreign material in a popular chocolate chip cookie dough product, necessitating its recall.
On August 10th, Nestlé USA voluntarily recalled a limited number of their Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough “break and bake” bar products due to the potential of wood fragments being present. This was made public by the FDA. Here’s what we know about the recall:

According to the FDA, the recall is limited to two batches of the product which were produced on the 24th and 25th of April, 2023 and then distributed to various retailers across the country.
The alert states: "This recall does not involve any other Nestlé Toll House products, including other varieties of refrigerated cookie dough in 'break and bake' bars, rolls, or tubs, or edible cookie dough."
The FDA warned customers who bought items with batch numbers 311457531K and 311557534K not to eat them and to take them back to the store they bought them from for either a replacement or a refund.
As noted by NBC News, authorities have confirmed that there haven't been any reported medical issues regarding the cookie dough. In the alert, Nestlé added: "We are confident that this is an isolated issue and we have taken action to address. The quality, safety and integrity of our products remain our number one priority."
