Urgent recall issued for cookie sold at Target
A major recall has been issued for packs of Favorite Day Bakery Frosted Sugar Cookies sold at Target after fears they could contain pieces of wood. Give and Go pulled the treats on July 22, affecting 803 cases — more than 12,000 cookies — shipped to three distribution centers in Ohio, Connecticut and Maryland.
The products, sold in 10-packs with Lot number 251915, were sent to Target stores in 21 states , including New York, Massachusetts, Michigan and Virginia. The Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) said it was a 'Class II' recall — initiated when products could cause temporary or medically reversible health effects.
Target has yanked all affected packs from shelves and its website, urging shoppers to toss them or contact customer service for a refund. It's unclear if any consumers reported seeing wood in their cookies. The recall follows a string of food safety scares.
