The U.S. Food & Drug Administration has issued a recall for two batches of Nestlé Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough “break and bake” bar products after wood fragments were found inside them.

The recall posting from the FDA shared that the 16.5-ounce products were produced on April 24-25, 2023, and were distributed and sold at stores nationwide.

“While no illnesses or injuries have been reported, we are taking this action out of an abundance of caution after a small number of consumers contacted Nestlé USA about this issue,” the company said in a news release.

The FDA shared that the recall does not involve other Nestlé Toll House products, including other varieties of the “break and bake” bars, rolls, tubs, or edible cookie dough.

Affected packages have batch codes 311457531K and 311557534K, the FDA’s recall notice shared.

Consumers who have purchased one of the affected packages should not prepare or eat the product. The FDA recommends that consumers should return it to the place where they purchased it for a refund or replacement.

“The quality, safety, and integrity of our products remain our number one priority,” Nestlé USA said in a statement. “We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this action represents to both our consumers and retail customers.”

If you have questions about the recall, contact Nestlé USA at (800) 681-1678, Mondays through Fridays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. EST.
