Trader Joe’s has announced that several of its popular cookie offerings may not be safe to consume.
The tainted treats in question, Trader Joe Almond Windmill Cookies and Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Chunk and Almond Cookies, may have rocks in them. Per the July 21st press release, the grocery chain says their supplier notified them that the cookies were somehow contaminated during the manufacturing process.
The store took immediate steps to remove the cookies from the shelves. However, they are asking anyone who bought them to get rid of the baked goods immediately.
“If you purchased or received any donations of Almond Windmill Cookies and/or Dark Chocolate Chunk and Almond Cookies, please do not eat them. We urge you to discard the product or return it to any Trader Joe’s for a full refund,” the statement read.
Those unsure if their cookies are part of the rocky batch can inspect the packaging for several identifiers. A potentially dangerous assortment of the Almond Windmill Cookies contains SKU# 98744, with sell-by dates of 10/19/23 through 10/21/23. The Dark Chocolate Chunk and Almond Cookies have SKU# 82752 and sell by dates of 10/17/23 through 10/21/23, per the Trader Joe’s website.
As of now, no injuries have been reported. It’s unclear how the stones may have ended up in the cookies. Customers with any questions or reports of the rocks are encouraged to call Trader Joe’s Customer Relations at (626) 599-3817.
