Nationwide recall on Chewy Chips Ahoy! cookies

On Saturday, Mondelēz Global LLC issued a voluntary recall of Chewy Chips Ahoy cookies in 13-ounce packages. The recall affects items that were sold at a variety of retailers and grocery stores nationwide.

“This voluntary recall is being conducted because of the potential for certain product to contain an unexpected solidified ingredient,” the company said in a press release. “Some reports of potential adverse health effects have been received.”

Elisabeth Wenner, the corporate communications director for Mondelēz provided further details about the retail explaining that in “some instances, the cornstarch in our Chewy Chips Ahoy! recipe did not fully incorporate in the mixing procedure and solidified in the baking process.

Anyone who may be in possession of the affected cookies are being advised not to eat them and to throw away any packages immediately.

According to the company’s statement, the recall affects packages with the UPC code 0 44000 03223 4 and best when used by dates of September 7, 2019; September 8, 2019; September 14, 2019, and September 15, 2019.

However, there is some good news for those who prefer crunchier cookies.

“No other Chips Ahoy or Mondelēz Global LLC product is included in this recall,” the company stated.
