Recently, a big cookie recall has been announced in the United States and parts of Canada. This recall happened because some cookie batches may contain pieces of plastic, which could be harmful if eaten. While no injuries have been reported yet, the recall is a safety measure to protect consumers. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) shared details of this recall and urged people to check their cookie products.
Why Are These Cookies Being Recalled?
The recall was started by CraftMark Bakery LLC, based in Indianapolis. It began on March 27 and includes several types of frozen and ready-to-eat cookies. These cookies were sold in California, Illinois, Maryland, and Canada. The FDA is treating this as a Class II recall, which means eating these cookies could cause temporary health problems but not life-threatening ones.
Foreign objects like plastic, even in small amounts, can cause mouth injuries or digestive issues, especially in kids and older adults. This is why the company decided to pull back these products before any real harm happens.

What Should Consumers Do?

Why Are Recalls Common?
Recalls are done to keep people safe. Companies often recall food if they find plastic, bacteria, or undeclared allergens like nuts or milk inside the product. In the U.S., there are three classes of recalls:
Class I: Dangerous and could cause serious health problems
Class II: Could cause temporary or mild health issues
Class III: Not likely to cause harm, but still not perfect for sale
This cookie recall falls under Class II, which means the problem is serious enough to need action, but not an emergency.
