The cookies were possibly contaminated with wood, according to the report, which classified the action as a Class II recall.

The FDA described a Class II recall as "a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote."
The "best by" date on the cookie packages "can vary as they are applied by retailer when removed from freezer," the report said.

Give and Go Prepared Foods initiated the recall of the cookie. The Etobicoke, Canada, company launched the recall July 22, the report said.

Target invited customers who may have bought the cookies to call for a refund.

"At Target, we're committed to providing high quality and safe products for our guests," a Target spokesperson said in an email. "Following the voluntary recall initiated by Give and Go Prepared Food Corps, Target has removed all impacted Favorite Day Bakery Frosted Sugar Cookies, 10 count, from stores and online.
