Recall: Animal Cookies sold at Target may contain metal

DF Stauffer Biscuit Co., Inc. is recalling 44oz Market Pantry White Fudge Animal Cookies because they may contain metal wire pieces. The product comes in a clear plastic jug formed to a bear shape.

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

The recall was initiated when metal wire was found inside cookies. Foodborne foreign objects that are hard, sharp, and large are more likely to cause serious injury or dental injury. Foodborne foreign 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.

The recall affects only product with the following best by date, lot number and time stamps printed on the back side of the bear jug on the product label, below the nutritional panel.

Consumers who have purchased the recalled product are to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
