Bosses at the Food and Drug Administration issued the recall for a type of Favorite Day frosted cookie on July 22. 

More than 800 cases of the cookies which are decorated with pink icing and sprinkles are being recalled.

In total, over 12,000 packages are being recalled as each box contains 15 units. 

If wood fragments or shards are found in the product, then they can pose a choking hazard.

The recalled product’s lot number is 25195.

But, the best by date of the products are varied.

FDA chiefs have classified the recall as Class II – which is the second category of recall.

This means the contaminated item could cause consumers to experience adverse health impacts.

The order is not as serious as a Class I recall. 

No injuries have been reported by shoppers who have eaten the cookies.

The cookies were distributed from three centers in the states of Connecticut, Maryland and Ohio.

Batches of the cookies could be picked up at Target stores for $4.49.

The U.S. Sun has approached Target for comment.

The frozen meals were produced between August 2024 and March of this year.

The company believed the wood contamination problem was an “isolated” issue as it worked to rectify it.

How to handle product recall

FOOD Safety experts insist that shoppers shouldn’t panic if they’re affected by a recall, as many are harmless.

However, consumers should take each warning seriously and follow the necessary steps to protect themselves.

Oftentimes, food manufacturers issue recalls as a precautionary measure, so there likely isn’t a foodborne illness hiding in your pantry.

However, even if the recall is merely a precaution, shoppers should always stay safe and not consume the affected items.

Experts advise people to keep a product closed if it hasn’t been opened, and never feed it to a pet or donate it to food banks.

Anyone who has handled or opened an affected item should wash their hands thoroughly with warm water and soap for 20 seconds.

Read the recall closely for specific instructions on how to get rid of the food item.

Typically, the brand will ask consumers to return the recalled product to the store where they purchased it for a full refund.

Sometimes shoppers will also be asked to throw it away so that no one else can eat it.
