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.

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.

VELYKA NOVOSILKA, DONBAS, UKRAINE - MARCH 7: Ukrainian servicemen of the Ukrainian Volunteer Army patrol around the town of Velyka Novosilka, Ukraine March 7, 2023. The frontline around the city of Vuhledar, a strategic rail and road hub south of Bakhmut, resembles an apocalyptic scenario. Destroyed buildings and burned cars are scattered at both sides of the road. There, hidden on basements of abandoned houses, the Ukrainian Volunteer Army hold their positions against relentless attacks by Russian forces. Under the threat of the enemyâs artillery, that echoes through the village, soldiers hold their fortified positions in shifts of 12h. In recent days, they said, they have been able to repel several Russian offensives. (Photo by Ignacio Marin Fernandez/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
