Nestlé Toll House Recalls Cookie Dough Over Potential Contamination
It looks like there is some trouble in the Toll House.
This week Nestlé announced that it would be initiating a voluntary recall of a limited quantity of Nestlé Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, specifically the "break and bake" Bar (16.5 oz), over the potential presence of wood fragments.
According to the public service announcement shared on the FDA website, the voluntary recall is isolated to two batches of the specified products that were produced on April 24 and April 25. The product was distributed at retailers in the U.S.
The brand stressed that the 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."
While no illnesses or injuries have been reported as of yet, Nestlé claims to be "taking this action out of an abundance of caution after a small number of consumers contacted Nestlé USA about this issue."
Consumers who have purchased the specified product with batch codes 311457531K and 311557534K "should not prepare or consume the product and should return the product to the retailer where it was purchased for a replacement or refund," according to the recall announcement.
Nestlé is vowing to cooperate "fully" with the FDA as they work to resolve this issue. "We are confident that this is an isolated issue and we have taken action to address," the brand said.
"The quality, safety and integrity of our products remain our number one priority," Nestlé further insisted. "We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this action represents to both our consumers and retail customers."
For any further support needed, customers can contact Nestlé USA at (800) 681-1678 Monday-Friday from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. EST.
