Popular Target cookie recalled in 20 states

If you have a sweet tooth, you should definitely check your pantries and your refrigerators. Thousands of Target’s Favorite Day Frosted Sugar Cookies have been recalled in 20 states and the District of Columbia due to possible wood contamination.

The recall was voluntarily initiated by the manufacturer, Give and Go Prepared Foods Corp, on July 22, 2025. The FDA classified the recall Class II on August 4, which means the products “might cause serious injury or temporary illness.”

According to the FDA, 803 cases of the cookies with 15 units per case — more than 12,000 units total — are involved in the “foreign material” contamination. The 10-count Favorite Day Bakery Frosted Sugar Cookies were made by distribution centers in Connecticut, Maryland and Ohio and have Lot number 25195 printed on the packaging.

The contaminated cookies were sent to stores in Connecticut, Washington D.C., Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Virginia and Vermont. They have varying expiration dates, so make sure to check the lot number if you’ve purchased these recently.

Favorite Day is one of Target’s private brands. However, companies with private brands often use major manufacturers to produce products. Give and Go Prepared Foods Corp, the company listed on the FDA report, is the primary producer for in-store bakery products in North America. So, if you purchased any similar frosted sugar cookie recently, even if it’s not Target’s Favorite Day brand, consider checking the lot number. If you find any contaminated cookies, they should be disposed of immediately.

Target removed all impacted Favorite Day Bakery Frosted Sugar Cookies from stores and online, according to a statement sent to NBC Chicago.

Along with Target, five other major retailers announced recalls this week — including several particularly pertinent to shoppers who have Celiac or are gluten intolerant.

Friendly’s recalled select tubs of its Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. The containers were found to be mistakenly filled with Friendly’s Cookies and Cream ice cream, which means there is an undisclosed wheat and soy allergen. Aldi recalled its Park Street Deli Cinnamon Bun Dessert Dip due to possible plastic contamination. Nehaus Chocolates recalled the Belgian Chocolate Moments Smurf’s “Popping Milk Chocolates with Cookies” due to an undisclosed wheat allergen. Hans Kissle recalled the Tricolor Twist Pasta Salad due to an undeclared wheat allergen. NuNaturals announced a nationwide recall of its Organic Pure Stevia and Pure Monk Fruit Sweetener. The bottles were mislabeled. The Stevia packages contain Monk Fruit powder and the Monk Fruit packages contain Stevia powder.
