Trader Joe’s cookie lovers, beware of some extra crunchy cookies. On July 21, Trader Joe’s sent a recall notice to customers alerting them of two products that may contain foreign material: rocks. The items in question are the Almond Windmill Cookies and the Dark Chocolate Chunk and Almond Cookies.
Both types of cookies are intended to get their satisfying crunch from the edible ingredient of almonds, not rocks.
Almond Windmill Cookies with a sell by date of Oct. 19, 2023, through Oct. 21, 2023, or Dark Chocolate Chunk and Almond Cookies with a sell by date of Oct. 17, 2023, through October 21, 2023, should not be eaten, Trader Joe’s said in the press release. Customers should throw the cookies out or return them to Trader Joe’s for a full refund.
