Nestlé has recalled three different batches of cookie dough. The company voluntarily issued the recall after receiving complaints from customers that their cookie dough was laced with pieces of plastic film. Nestlé is now cooperating with the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to facilitate this voluntary recall.

The company announcement stated that

“Nestlé USA is initiating a voluntary recall of a limited quantity of Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough tubs from NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® due to the potential presence of soft plastic film.”

The three plastic tainted batches of cookie dough “were produced August 1-3, 2022. These products were distributed to retailers nationwide. This recall does not involve any other NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® products, including other varieties of Edible cookie dough or Ready-to-Bake cookie dough.

While no illnesses or injuries have been reported, we took action out of an abundance of caution after a small number of consumers contacted Nestlé USA about this issue.

Consumers who may have purchased these three batch codes (22135554RR, 22145554RR, 22155554RR) of Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough tubs from NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® should not consume the product and should return the product to the retailer where it was purchased for a replacement or refund.”

A scientific study calculated that the average American eats, drinks, and breathes in more than 74,000 microplastic particles every year. Each of us might ingest up to a credit card’s worth of plastic each week through consuming food and water.
