Overview of the Recall
Mondelez Global LLC has expanded a voluntary recall of specific Chips Ahoy! Baked Bites Brookie products sold in the United States due to a potential choking hazard. This recall now includes an additional best-by date of May 10, 2026, and two more UPC codes associated with product pouches that were packed inside previously recalled cartons. The issue arose from an error during the mixing process, resulting in small clumps of corn starch forming in the cookies, which could pose a choking risk, particularly for young children and older adults.

The recall specifically targets select eight-count caddies and individual pouches of Chips Ahoy! Baked Bites Brookie. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has confirmed that no other Chips Ahoy! products or brands under Mondelez are included in this recall. Consumers are advised not to consume the affected products if they possess them.
