WASHINGTON -  A recall has been issued for animal cookies sold at Target stores because they may contain pieces of metal.

The D. F. Stauffer Biscuit Co., Inc. is recalling 44 oz Market Pantry White Fudge Animal Cookies.

The cookies come in a clear plastic jug formed to a bear shape.

 The recall affects only the following Best By Date, Lot Numbers, and time stamps, printed on the back of the bear jug on the product label, below the nutritional panel.

  • Best By Date 21FEB2023               
  • Jug Lot Numbers Y052722            
  • Case Lot Number Y052722           
  • Time Stamp  From 15:00 to 23:00             
  • UPC code 085239817698

The products were distributed to Target stores nationwide. No other lots or products are affected.

The recall was issued when the metal wire was found inside a portion of the cookies.

Hard, sharp metal, and large are more likely to cause serious injury or dental injury.

Objects that are flexible, not sharp, and smaller in length are more likely to cause minor injuries such as transient choking or small lacerations in the gastrointestinal system.

Anyone who purchased the recalled product is urged to stop consuming the product and return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Consumers with questions may contact D.F. Stauffer Biscuit Co., Inc. at 888-480-1988, Mon-Fri, 8 am to 5 pm EST.
