Bags of tiny chocolate chip cookies under recall for presenting a choking hazard

A recall of Chips Ahoy! Baked Bites Brookie after a potential choking hazard was found in products sold at select stores nationwide.

Mondelez Global LLC and federal regulators confirmed that some batches of the brownie-chocolate chip cookie hybrid may contain small clumps of corn starch that could pose a risk, especially to young children and elderly consumers, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Initially announced on December 24, 2025, the Chips Ahoy! recall was expanded on December 30 to include one additional best‑by date and two more Universal Product Codes of affected products. The recall was listed on the FDA website on February 4.

The expanded recall now covers additional product codes and best‑by dates that may still be in circulation at retail stores nationwide.

Affected products come in multiple package sizes, including 22.4‑ounce cartons and pouches ranging from 1.4 to 7 ounces, with best‑by dates from May 9 to May 18, 2026.
