Nestle recalled two batches of break-and-bake chocolate chip cookie dough bars because the dough might contain an extra ingredient: wood fragments.
Multiple consumers called the company about the wood pieces, though no injuries or illnesses were reported.
“We are confident that this is an isolated issue and we have taken action to address [it]. 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,” Nestle wrote in its recall notice, posted by the Food and Drug Administration.
Nestle also emphasized that other break-and-bake bar varieties and other Nestle cookie dough products were not part of the recall.
The chocolate chip cookie dough bars were distributed to stores nationwide.
Consumers should look for batch code 311457531K with the best-by date of Aug. 22, 2023, and the batch code 311557534K with a best-by date of Oct. 23, 2023.
