Some chewy Chips Ahoy cookies were recalled after the company that produces them received reports of adverse health effects.
The voluntary recall affects certain 13-ounce packages of the cookies.
The full extent of the recall wasn’t clear but Mondelez Global LLC, which owns the brand, said that the recalled products are available nationwide. According to Alden Cartwright, a Twitter user, the cookies are sold at Walmart, prompting Walmart to send an email to people about the recall.
“The voluntary recall is being conducted because of the potential for certain product to contain an unexpected solidified ingredient,” Mondelez stated in its press release (pdf). “Some reports of potential adverse health effects have been received.”
