Nestlé Recalls Edible Cookie Dough In NJ Due To Potential Plastics

NEW JERSEY - Nestlé USA has issued a voluntary recall of its popular edible cookie dough due to potential soft plastic film contamination, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The recall only affects three batches of Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough tubs that were produced from Aug. 1 to 3 and were distributed to retailers nationwide, the FDA said in a Nov. 3 statement. The recall doesn’t involve any other Nestlé products, including ready-to-bake cookie dough or other varieties of edible cookie dough.

The affected batch codes are 22135554RR, 22145554RR and 22155554RR with corresponding Best By dates from Jan. 28 to 30, 2023.

No illnesses or injuries have been reported so far, the FDA said. However, a “small number” of customers have contacted Nestlé about the issue, which prompted the voluntary recall.

Those who purchased the affected batches should not eat the product and instead should return the product to the retailer where it was purchased for a replacement or refund.

Customers can contact Nestlé USA at 800-681-1678 Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. EST with questions or concerns.

“We are working with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) on this voluntary recall and will cooperate with them fully,” Nestlé USA said in a statement. “The quality, safety and integrity of our products remain our number one priority. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this action represents to both our consumers and retail customers.”

The brand issued a separate recall for its ready-to-bake Toll House Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough with Fudge Filling after several other complaints about plastic. That recall was issued in October. Read more: Nestlé Recalls Toll House Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
